I can't decide how I feel about this book. I didn't find most of the characters enjoyable but it was interesting to read about them and the book mainly had a good flow going with the story. I wish there was more about Zoes story which I feel like was left in the air like an afterthought. Quentin too. I didn't enjoy the introduction of Elenor or the format of her chapters. I just couldn't bring myself to care about her at all.
