This book is not what I expected at all. The blurb basically gives you the first chapter and then it all goes wild from there!
I think you can tell from the writing that this is some of Samantha Shannon's earlier work but it's still great. I found the plot to be interesting if a bit out of left field and the characters felt well written, so overall I really enjoyed it.
I'm intrigued to see where this will go in the next installment and so I will definitely be continuing.
