Jesus, the protagonist is irritating. If you can think of a new way to screw up or just be generally irritating in a way she didn't manage to blunder into during this book, you're an evil mastermind. For real.

There are a ridiculous amount of parallels with Labyrinth as well-- they don't end solely with the kidnapped brother.

Not the worst book I've read; I actually quite enjoyed parts of it and may continue with the series to see what happens. Maybe the author will take mercy on me and kill off Meghan.
