Although I did get major 'Brave' vibes from this (an animation that I enjoyed thoroughly), this book just didn't do it for me. I felt that the characters' emotions were simply too fleeting. Similarly, the scene that opened the novel served no purpose other than to establish the world that the main character lived in. It did not hook me, as a reader, and neither did it tell me more about the main character as a person. This was disappointing.
I can say, however, that I loved the blurb and the entire premise of the story. It's what drew me in in the first place. I just felt that the execution could have been better. I don't doubt that there are people who will like this story but unfortunately, no matter how much I want it to be, this one just isn't for me.
