This book just really wasn't for me. I adored the idea, and while I think it was executed very well, the characters fell really flat for me. I had no attachment to any characters, and I did not care one bit if the main character completed her quest. If she would have died halfway through, I would have shrugged my shoulders and moved on.

A lot of people say it has a really shocking ending, and I just found myself saying, "Meh, it's not that surprising."

I don't like to drag books through the mud, because they are someone's work. The characters just weren't for me, but I think the story was well written.
