I'm disappointed, is all I can say.

The characters were flat, I couldn't get to know them. There was, quite frankly, nothing going on, except for Cassia's own fancies. No action, no tension, nothing. The writing style felt almost robotic. Like the main character was just describing the obvious. The only reason I pushed through it is because of the Society. They really fascinated me. The whole rule system and matching system. I also enjoyed the cool little inventions, like dream tags and datapods. The end picked up a little, but I don't know if I will continue in this series.
