4.5

The first 30 ish pages took me FOREVER to get through, but after that, it picks up pretty quickly. I liked Jude (even though she made me very nervous), Carden started growing on me right at the end, and I quickly started to dislike Taryn after her relationship with Jude changed (which I thought was unnecessary and didn't largely affect the plot YET). Overall it was a good book and kept me entertained pretty much the entire time, so I appreciate that.
