While this book gets swept up in many narrative circles from time to time, I was still drawn into the story through its mysterious world that we've only barely seen and what lays ahead for the characters. Nita's a bit of an acquired taste, what with her constantly looking down on other people and sociopathic tendencies. Kovit's also a lot of fun, though yes, we get it, he smiles a lot and it's always mostly disturbing. Still, it was interesting to see their dynamic grow and I am genuinely curious to see what move Nita makes next. Here's hoping that the writing style grows as the series goes on.
