This book has such unique concepts; it really felt like a breath of fresh air. I appreciated its depravity and darkness, as well as the unconventional fantasy elements. 

Having said this, in all honesty I was really confused during most of the book. I felt like I could never quite grasp the full picture because the concepts were so new and complex. 

I think on a re-read this would be a 5-star book, but as it stands I was too confused while reading to fully appreciate the story.
