This book started out very interesting and the first half of it had a lot of potential. Somewhere around that halfway point, however, everything started going downhill with not just the plot, but the editing. Facts were contradictory (the protagonist's age, for example, kept changing), there were names used for the wrong people, words were misspelled, etc.
Towards the end, the plot just fell apart. I think the author had a great idea and either executed it poorly or wasn't sure how to neatly tie up the loose ends - or maybe it was a rushed job. This is a problem that definitely could have been solved with better editing or more time devoted to the book, though.
Really unfortunate. Two stars because while I have issues with the story, it wasn't so unreadable that I couldn't finish it.
