This was a very disappointing read for me. It was long, it was disjointed, and the story made no sense at points, and I leave this behind still confused about why certain things were mentioned and why they had happened. I do remember enjoying the movie, but the book was, honestly, a mess. I might just not be the right audience for this (which is a surprise as I tend to read EVERYTHING within the fantasy genre) and it just didn't work for me.
