Still sorting through my feelings.
i feel like the idea of this book is better than the story told. The pacing was confusing. I thought the story would be wrapped up by the end of the book and was really surprised once I got to the end. I'm curious how the second and third books are going to go. I'm not certain there is enough story for them.
On the positive side, I really liked the mythology incorporated. Meyers really did a good job on her research. It's refreshing to read a story and see mythological creatures I haven't seen before.
