First and foremost this is not a book I would usually read. That is not to say it's bad only that it's not to my liking.

Someone wanted me to read this story with them. I gave it a go. Really tried to get into it. I made it to chapter eleven. I can't keep reading it however and will be shelving it as a "did not finish." I do not care for the writing style. While it is done well I dislike reading three different story lines simultaneously. Most importantly for me though is that the book is not what I would consider a happy story. There are moments of happiness and light. I do not feel they are enough to make up for the over all darkness of the tale.

Over all well written and interesting... Just not a story for me.
