I wasn't sure if this book could live up to the hype but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked the dual perspectives, and even though I had a guess at what connected them the book did a good job of keeping me on my toes. I would say I was pretty engrossed in the individual stories, and I actually found that the perspectives switching every chapter kept me more interested in the book.

As for characters I found Rielle the more compelling of the 2 main characters due to the fact that there was more intrigue surrounding her character and development, as well as the fact that I just enjoyed her relationships with the other side characters in her timeline more (especially her love interest).

I ended up finding Elliana to be pretty unlikable (read: kind of a bitch). She kept doing the dumbest things, treated those around her pretty badly, and I found she didn't really develop out of these things in this book (hopefully she will in the second one). I also didn't really like her love interest (the second one I guess), but I did enjoy the other side characters around her.

I'm looking forward to continuing the trilogy as there were definitely some questions left unanswered that I want answers to, but I'm sad that I'll have to wait a whole year (??) for the next book.
