3.5

If I could describe this book in one word, it would be predictable. Beside the fact that there are striking similarities to Red Queen (Iykyk), it wasn't entirely enjoyable. A lot of the scenes bounce around inorganically, cutting off the lessons/meetings for meaningless banter repeatedly. The “foreshadowing” is blatantly screaming through the pages. If you're going to use

a best friend betrayal

, at least make him likable!! In my opinion. It's distasteful for the author to use Gealic for her work and disregard it's respected language with what she deems “her own vision”. Couldn't bear the audiobook for this reason. 
I had high hopes for this upcoming series.
