I genuinely enjoyed the story and while I couldn't always agree with what our heroine did, it was definitely understandable in a world that was so harsh and dangerous towards her. I enjoyed the friendships she developed (and should probably have annotated that as a theme). 

I think this story would lend itself really well to the actual silver screen.

There was no line drawn between reality and mysticism, which I'm sure was intentional when telling a story where everything and everyone has the potential to be fake. It was just hard for me to follow at times.

Overall, I liked it. I might recommend to certain people. Probably won't reread.
