Overall I really liked the series. This is my first intro to Schwab's writing, and it was captivating enough to keep me reading this book and wanting to continue with the series. I'll be interested to check out other hyped up books by her. I am on the fence about whether or not I like Kell, and really on the fence about if I care about Lila's story. I like the aspect of the price and the pauper differences between them, but I don't know if it's enough for it to change my overall feeling of meh between them so far.
