I struggled with the decision to give this rating. It is not perfect, and there are some things I did not particularly love, but it was so unique, emotional, and so grand in scale but yet focused enough to center your attention. I could hardly put it down. This is definitely a book that I want to revisit in the future and it is one that I am very happy to have read.

My least favorite parts of the book were the second terror, he really bothered me and I didn’t like the way that he was written or the way he used his power. At times it felt cheesy. 
Also the description of the third terror’s *parts* made me very uncomfortable and it just didn’t feel necessary to me.
