Overall enjoyed it, especially the last few chapters. I definitely think it's a little slow to start, and having the two books leads to some repetitiveness. However my main gripe with the book is that I truly don't think that it should be a fantasy, and I don't think the "echoes" really add anything at all to the story. The same exact story could have been told without the main character having this "power".

On the other hand, I love the hopeful tone at the end.
