I love it when authors take risks! I just did not love this as much as the authors other books!

The pacing in the first half of the book held this back.

A mandatory read forever and ever, blistering in its intent. An author to truly look out for. 

It is remarkable, even

I feel (still)
compelled
to restrict what I say.

I was really suckered into this world! There were some issues with pacing but as soon as I hit the second half of the book I forgot all of that. Looking forward to hopping into book two soon!
