Beginning of this book was absolutely terrifying but part two wasn't scary at all and was much more fantastical. I think what happened right at the end is probably the max level of incomprehensibility that I am willing to accept from a book and I hope that the next book doesn't continue with that but instead goes back into the "you can kind of understand what's going on but only just barely". I think this would be a great novel to re-read, there is so much going on.
