My Review:
Hm. What did I think about this book? I loved the first half of it. I got completely drawn into this world, and could not stop reading. I wanted to know more about the characters, and what was going to happen to them. It was very intriguing. I also liked the friendship and romance aspects of the book. They weren’t the main focus, but I liked it. It kept me interested.
Then, as the book continued I started to lose interest. It started to feel like it was dragging on and on. I know this isn’t an especially long book by any means, but it definitely felt that way. I started to become bored by the characters. The storyline was moving along, but it was moving slowly.
This was a book that I was extremely excited to read, and it just seemed to let me down a little bit. That being said, the end was very good. The ending hooked me, and now I cannot see what happens next in this trilogy. While this book wasn’t my favorite, I know there are many people who do and will love this book. Give it a try!
