Very good fun. Interesting concept in terms of powers and internal siblings rivalry. I really enjoyed how the relationship between the POV characters worked for the reader - one character with a plot that she can't even think about, one being forced into executing that plot without knowing what it is, and one trying to figure it out. When you add in all the shifting/hidden motives, it basically just made everything chaotic in an incredibly fun way. 

I felt like some of the minor characters needed development though. There were siblings where I wasn't really ever sure what their catalog was.
