What a stressful read! I loved the premise and how this book took the time to set up the entire series. I also didn’t mind the deliberate grammatical errors and the literal chaos on some of the pages. However, I found Todd to be really annoying most of the time (I won’t accept the reason that he’s just a kid) and felt actually tired of all the running they did throughout the novel.

Also, Manchee didn’t deserve any of it. What happened to him really made me angry. :(
