This book was kind of slow in the beginning and I honestly felt like DNF'ing it and finding a more fast-paced book to help me out of my book slump, but I powered through and, man, did it pay off. the last 100-150 pages of this book had me on the edge of my seat. I did not see any of what happened coming and it was such a different concept that had me hooked. However, there were a lot of...elements that were not exactly pleasant so it sometimes felt a little icky and had me grimacing on the bus sometimes. Fire book though and a great way to start the year off.
