Really great book, and it felt quite easy to get through. That being said, though, it did feel slightly too long at times, like there were things that dragged out a bit (particularly a lot of stuff with Christina, but maybe it's just that I didn't connect enough with that character). But overall this book was really interesting and was enjoyable, so I would recommend it to others.
