I found it quite slow to start, but as soon as I hit the halfway point, I was flying through. I guessed part of the ending quite early on, although I hadn't actually expected to be right, but there were quite a few twists throughout that I definitely hadn't seen coming.

I enjoyed the book overall and will definitely read the next, if only in the hopes it will change the ending - there's a couple of parts that don't sit well and I wish more had been done to build certain relationships!
