This was absolutely fascinating. Narration was excellent.

This was a bit of a struggle. I didn't connect with the characters and it was all a bit too depressing.

What a ride. I just want them to be happy, is that too much to ask

4.5*

I'm not going to rate this due to the nature of the book, however this is powerful as hell.

My favourite quote:

"When I sink deep... I try and understand that there is another, bigger and stronger part of me that is not sinking. It stands unwavering. It is, I suppose, the part that would have once been called my soul."

- Very unique world
- Loved Lila Bard and her interactions with Kell
- Not sure on limits of elemental power but still very cool
- Holland was such a sad character
- Didn't really understand the 'infected' people and their part in the story
- Rhy and Kell's relationship was so sweet
- White London rulers a bit one dimensional
- Bit too many named side characters that was unnecessary
- Antari magic was awesome and so interesting

I thought this was going somewhere. It wasn't. It did have some creepy bits but was so disjointed and didn't tie up ANYTHING. Very frustrating.
