Alina is the main character of this book and I quite enjoyed her. I'm usually not really a fan of first person books, but Leigh made it easy for me to get along with it. 

As for the the whole book the writing was very enjoyable and it was very easy to get through this book. 
I love when books come with "extras" like a map or infos.

The book follows some "typical" YA tropes, so you either like or hate it. 

In the end I enjoyed the book and I am excited to read book number two. :)
