5.0

This book was intriguing and captivating from cover to cover. Each character is so well written with unique qualities and a sense of narrative specific to them. The diversity, the depth of character, the personal growth, and the great questions this book forces one to ask relative to its plot make for a deeply dynamic and simply excellent book. 
I'm excited to read the next two books.
