I enjoyed the family aspect of this; I love a sibling story, but overall I thought it was slow and a bit boring at times. Also, I didn't realize that this was the first in the series (?!) and was expecting the plot to be resolved by the end, especially based on the amount of pages. I'm feeling a bit mixed because I am interested in seeing if the story picks up in the second part, but I'm not terribly invested in the characters to want to continue on this journey with them.
