This whole book was just one-tone tragedy porn. And not even interesting tragedy porn. Very straight basic tragedy porn. If you're going to give so many different POVs, at least try to give them some other voice than your own droning malaise. 

I enjoyed the first half. But the second half, oh my gods. What a shame. The concept was great, the execution, eh.
