I think this is what I want to rate this, but I'm still a little unsure on where I fall with this. I felt a little disconnected from the story and confused or unsure about what was happening or the point of the story for a lot of this, but that might also be my mood so I think I might want to reread this at some point, maybe before reading the second book. I did really like the prose and writing, and how the story came full circle at the end.
