I didn't like this one quite as much as The Chosen and the Beautiful, but it was still really fun. I think what I got hung up on was the lack of explanation on the fantasy aspects of the world. I felt like I was stumbling along trying to understand what was happening and it was a detriment for me being able to enjoy the other facets of the story. It seemed really interesting, but I still didn't quite get a lot of it by the end.

There was also some strange time jumps back and forward that were jarring enough that I got a bit lost and felt like I was having to grab a rope and hoist myself back into the story by some thread of recognition.

I enjoyed the characters and the setting, though, and wish that some of the characters had gotten a bit more resolution than they did. The story had a nice, eerie quality to it that made you feel both on edge but dying to know what happens next anyway.
