Oh boy.

This book went from interesting to boring to anger-inducing to something that left me with mixed emotions. At one point I thought it might be getting a 1 star rating but it was redeemed by the end, a bit. I gotta put it right in the middle with 3 stars... Although there were some clever and surprising bits, I felt it was mostly too predictable. Some of those predictable things were annoying and some were exactly what I wanted. I did enjoy some parts, but ultimately I found the overall plot a tad over the top. This does have potential for a good film adaptation, though. 

But seriously... what's up with that curtain pattern man??

I'm big mad, ya'll. And there's spoilers which I might come back and properly tag later, so beware.

It's my VERY FIRST 1 star rating and I'm just so disappointed. 

I'm NOT a fan of ambiguous endings. I came here because the movie trailer intrigued me and subsequently discovered it was based on a book. I CAME here for answers and I did NOT get them. Also, don't get me started on the choice made with Wen. Sigh.
