So this book is slow. Like REALLY slow. It isn't super long, but it feels like it's longer than it should be. To be honest, this one didn't grip me like others I've recently read. It's okay, but it felt like I've read this story before (even though I know I haven't). There were sections that felt like it was written straight out of whatever cliché it was portraying. I know there is at least a sequel to this book, but I think I'm going to pass on it.
