5.0

 I have no words. There were so many ups and downs, twists and turns, my head was spinning almost the entire time. I had figured out what would happen before I reached the end but honestly I liked that part of it. It added weight to the scenes before it, and gave more emotion to the event.

The only negative I have, and it’s such a small one, is that sometimes Gideon’s way of talking seemed out of place compared to everyone else, but again it was only a minor thing that I could deal with.

Seriously though, as an author I dream of writing something this amazing one day.
