i think the book was well written and interesting except i think it was highly overwritten. it’s not so much that the lines were overwritten but the plot as a whole went on too long. then near the end it was a quick wrap up of everything. i wish it had been more concentrated. the very beginning of the plot was the most interesting part to me. it wasn’t a waste though. it was definitely a cool book with well written characters.
