I’m very torn on this book. I think I would honestly rate it at a 3.5. It is a quick and enjoyable read and worth the time invested. The idea is fascinating — I was really wanting to read it as soon as I heard about the plot line. However, there were a few things that just left me a little underwhelmed.
The introduction was a bit confusing, but after a couple of chapters the book really picked up speed. There were a few things in the early pages that could be completely removed without any harm to the plot and a bit tighter construction here could make it a lot strong.
Once I got rolling, it was smooth sailing. I enjoyed the bulk of the narrative quite a bit and had a hard time putting the book down. The writing was good and the plot was intriguing. The characters had depth and very clear personalities. I very much enjoyed the central motive of the plot and felt that the author did a great job developing both the characters and her plot. The use of multiple protagonists and alternating chapters from different points of view is always challenging, but it is executed fantastically.
I wanted to love this book. However, I was let down by the ending. I’m not sure if it was meant to be somewhat open ended to allow for a follow up book or if it was one of those situations where the author expects the reader to form their own conclusions. Either way, I was left wanting.
