The tone was all over the place. It starts out early 2000's camp, but with a cover like this and a six hour run time, I didn't anticipate high fantasy or even a plot. Then the book jumps to trauma real quick, throws in a sexual assault that added absolutely nothing to the plot it's desperately grasping for, oh, and the president of the United States shows up. Worst of all, it's a series, so all that nonsense for a cliffhanger? It's a no from me. This book is the equivalent of a bad first date.
I forgot the main character's name already. Her defining personality trait/characterization is her temper, but I didn't see anything that the average 15 year old American couldn't replicate in her outbursts, supernatural powers aside. Why is she pseudo-friends with a black ops guy? Why are we acting like it's totally chill that our bestie is dating a commander of a niche secret operative that has connections to the Whitehouse? Hello???
