This book could have been amazing. Weaving in and out of time, there's a lot happening and a lot of aspects that really could have been really fantastic if woven together better. The biggest problem I have with this book is that it wasn't able to hold my attention for any length of time. I kept reading and rereading passages. There were moments when I would start to get drawn in, only to loose focus again. I thought the story dragged a bit but mostly I just didn't love the characters and couldn't really connect to most of them. It's not the worst book I've read but it was not for me at all.
