Ok I didn't really hate this book it was just an average YA novel nothing special here. Also the further I got into it the less I liked the story and characters. There was nothing special about the characters Elisa was ok in the beginning she just became so very dis likable with her actions at the end of the book. The other characters were ok the only memorable characters died I found nothing to really love about any of the other characters. The plot was ok arraigned marriage for reasons that made sense the rest of the plot was a mess with the thing about the stones. So overall this book was ok not really interested in reading the rest of the series.
