There were so many elements here I should've loved, but for whatever reason, they didn't stick. I kept losing track of the side characters and the finer points of the lore. I thought Arrah's relationship with her family was fascinating and tragic. Kefu was an intriguing setting - a seemingly sleepy town inhabited by demons where time doesn't work correctly. Rudjek was an adequate love interest. Towards the end of the book, he does some things that seemed pretty unbelievable to me. It wasn't angering as much as confusing. The story ended in a really interesting place, so I'm cautiously anticipating the sequel.
