This book could have easily been three hundred pages shorter - the middle section dragged its feet in a way that felt really unnecessary and it’s why it took me a while to get through. That being said, the beginning and end make up for it. The story is compelling and unique, and the characters and relationships were enjoyable. I’m very interested to see what direction the sequels go in…
