This is an interesting book with an intriguing premise and a breathtaking cover, but honestly, I just kept getting bored. The main character is "not like other girls", consistently believing herself to be the Supreme Superiority on All Things, and won't listen to the advice of anyone else. The lore was fascinating to read, but we don't really get to explore it at all, we spend most of our time helplessly yanked around by our circumstances; one of which being a sister so madly in love with a man who stared intensely in her eyes without even speaking to her that she begins languishing immediately after being separated from his presence. All of the romances in the book happened so abruptly and baselessly that I was surprised when they came to fruition. It was an interesting, but poorly written and poorly executed read.
