I loved the bones of this story.  The feel of Clue and Caraval made me really excited.  I enjoyed the story and the mystery a lot.  

And the magic system, mixed with genetics, intrigued me.

However, Mullory annoyed me way too much.  Most of the characters sucked, except the twins.  As well, there were too many characters who ended up not mattering.  

The book missed out on whimsy and felt very young at times.

Will I read the sequel? Probably.  But I will borrow from my library.
