The writing style of this book was very dull and there wasnt much characterbuilding or interesting and inspiring interaction between the characters. The story was interesting but I wasnt hooked until I was 3/4 of the way through. The setting in which this story takes place is amazing though. Great read for the fall/winter.

It was just gross to me. It could have been written less gross......more
