This book came very close to a "did not finish" for me. It was just impossible to connect with the characters and I couldn't manage to feel anything for them. I missed action and passion.

The story sometimes felt like a retelling of Snow White, it certainly had some of the known elements from that story, but sadly it felt like a lifeless retelling. The plot idea in itself was good, but could have been developed further. There are some elements of the apocalypse in there, that is just a sidetrack from Kenan and Jahel's mission, if this is a stand alone novel I don't quite get why that was in the book at all.

On a positive note the author writes in a way that makes the story an easy read. Perhaps I'm just picky but sadly that wasn't enough for me.
