Really enjoyed the beginning and end. However, the middle suffered with 'filler book' syndrome for me. Not a lot going on and pretty slow. Overall enjoyed though!

An interesting premise, but a bit too YA for my taste.
It's a very fast paced book which was nice towards the end, but left me feeling quite confused at the start - felt like I was missing buts of information.
