Note: I received an ARC from Netgalley.

This may be more of a 3.5 but I'm going to round up because I tore through this book, which is always sign that I like it. It was really interesting. It was gripping and kept me guessing. For large portion of the book I was a little annoyed because all the events seemed a little disjointed and random. But then everything came together in the end and I'm thinking maybe that was Mitchard's point - that sometimes things catch you off guard and make you question what you think you know.

I don't know if this book will be for everyone, and I can certainly foresee a lot of complaints about certain aspects of this book, but overall I really liked the characters. I'm not sure how Mitchard plans to stretch the story into a series, but I'll definitely read the next one.
