I did not expect something quite so powerful and intense. And the story kind of kept going: there were so many easy places for it to resolve, but it played out in a much more rich and complicated plot than I expected. It was actually a little painful to read sometimes because of the hell the kids had to go through, but overall it was a pretty amazing book and really enjoyable to read.
