This book is an interesting book, I will give it that. Patience is a complex character who does quite a bit of growing up throughout the entirety of the plot. I enjoyed the discussions of wanting something so badly you feel like you must make specific choices. It is a book about wanting being more than principals and desperation leading you down paths you didn't think you'd go down. There is no winning often in the game of life. I also think the Ishola-Ayodeji did a spectacular job looking at the way people view young adults and how, in some worlds, keeping them in the dark is often seen as protecting them. There is a danger to that, and the author knows how to write about it. Overall, the book was a fun, interesting read. It isn't spectacular, but well worth a read.
