Wow. What a read. I think the main thing I liked about the book was that it had so many characters! Usually it's a definite negative point for me. I even avoid superhero league movies as they portray too many characters. BUT this book managed to give all the characters sufficient time. The flow was good, which is saying something as the characters and plot were complicated! And the epilogue! A chapter on ALL the characters that were even slightly narrated in the book got each one of their very own ending. Very personal, and smart! In short, I loved it and am going to the mall tomorrow to buy the next 5 books in the series.
