Slightly disappointed. I had really high hopes for this one!So, to begin with, I thought this would be a more mature read. I found it a bit too young - almost middle grade-ish, which was a shame. I just didn't really get the feel of the characters, they didn't get "under my skin." The worldbuilding ...

Another debut, but luckily it worked out a lot better than some of the debuts I’ve read recently.

I almost gave this 4 stars, so I'd say it's a solid 3 and a half. I've had a hard time focusing lately, so I've been rereading old favorites, and picking up and rejecting books one after the other.
