This was fine. I can see why it's so popular. For me, it was too long and the text was too small! I was squinting trying to read every single detail. I didn't need to do this as a lot of the text is filler so I could've reached the end a lot quicker without missing anything had I not bothered! Lesson learned. I did like the added extras of bonus chapters and book excerpts, although some of these were a little dull.

I did enjoy the flashbacks and the spotlighting of specific characters so we could learn more about them. The plot was good too. Just not a standout piece for me!
