This was one of my most anticipated read, so I can't believe I'm saying this but THANK GOD it's finished. 

I really really loved the premise and I understand why so many people loved it so I'm super disappointed that it didn't work for me. 

I found that the characters were not likeable, and I don't mean it in a  "Valkyr is a twat" kind of way but they are just so bland, boring, shallow and uninteresting. I couldn't care less what happened to them. 

As of the plot, I was really into it until 55-60%, then it started to feel like a chore to finish the book. It was just not interesting imo?? I feel like this could've been way shorter.
