this book put me in the worst reading slump ever and I thought I wouldn't be able to get through this and still seek out the sequel, but when I actually sat down and forced myself to read, I think I actually enjoyed it more, especially toward the end!
the writing style is phenomenal (though it's very action-packed, which I think may have overwhelmed me and contributed to my slump) and I loved the sense of humor/plot/excitement, but I hoped for more with the romance. I found it to be very superficial and hoped for more.
all in all, I liked the social commentary component, and I think this author is highly skilled - would consider picking up the next one!
(side note that I realized I should mention: I LOVED Fie as a main character. she was so well-written and it was always a hoot to see what she was thinking)
