It is very easy to get through quickly! It is quite unfortunate that I was able to guess exactly what would happen within the first 100 pages but obviously some things came as a slight shock. Nonetheless, it was still a good read and definitely intriguing.

If I wasn't a completionist, I would  not have finished this book. The characters were not fleshed out as much as I would like and I didn't find the concept as interesting as I thought I would.
