This book was interesting in the first half, you could feel what it was building to with just the right amount of hints dropped while introducing us to the characters and building our investment in them. It pays off in the second half, which is exciting and tragic and suspenseful not just because of the terrible event that occurs but also the way these characters come (or don't come) together. I really liked it.
