The dialogue was so awkward but after a time it grew on me. It's still odd and really repetitive at times. I hated Scarlett's dad but I know I'm supposed to so that's fine. Scarlett lacks an internal monologue that consists of her own thoughts and feelings until basically the end of the book. At least we got to see some depth from Axel. 

This book ends on a cliffhanger, so I will read the next one. I'm told they get better as they go, which I hope is the case because this story has a lot of potential. Overall, it did keep me entertained despite my annoyance at parts of it.
