This was a great book! Wonderful writing and unique storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat through the entire wild ride. Very dark and right up my alley, and even more so, up my little sister’s alley. It’s great for adults and for teens, I was very interested from beginning to end. I did find the names a bit difficult to connect to do to their uniqueness (which is why I strongly dislike most fantasy stories), but I was able to push past that aspect of the book because the writing was so good. This is definitely an author to look out for, as they have the potential to be a big name in young adult fiction. I love dark and twisty stories, and the darkness and twisty-ness was very present. I found that it did slow down a little bit in the middle, but it was easy to push past and keep moving forward as there was so much ambiance and open ended questions that had me guessing to the end.
