Easily one of my most hated books of the year.

I'm too angry about what I just read to write a coherent review right now.

Imagine, if you will, that The Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, and The Infernal Devices all got together and had a baby with the magic of science. Imagine how excited everyone would be for this baby, because they really enjoy each of its parents' presences and can't wait to see the beautiful, unique little being their union has created.

Now imagine if that baby came out as a turkey with a slave kink and a tendency to bastardize its parents qualities.

Confusion! Alarm! Disgust!

Except! Everyone else really likes this turkey? They say it's even better than its beloved parents. That turkey earns a 4.16 average rating and you're left to question... am I the problem? Is there something wrong with me for not liking this turkey?

This book is that turkey.

I respect the opinions of everyone that loves the ugly little bastard, but I'm simply overjoyed to be free of it.
