WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER!

This was a little slow to start with and I wasn't sure exactly how I was feeling about it for the first 40 or so pages, but then it really started to pick up and I was on a wild ride of emotions, and I loved every second of it. And for once I didn't see the twist at the end!

I was stupid and didn't purchase the rest of the trilogy, in case it didn't live up to the hype, but that was foolish, and I regret my actions. This is everything. I love the style that it is written in, it reads like an epic sci fi TV series.

Even the smallest of characters, you become attached to. I honestly can't wait to read the next two. Action packed, filled with sarcasm, and death, a lot of death. Get yourself some snacks, you're going to need them.
