i dont no what to say bout it im to mixed up and this was one of those book u learn bout earlier in the year and u wait all year for it only to be disappointed.. the book lost me i could not tell u what the heck was goin on ..it often had me wanting to quit it but only a few moments in the whole book i kinda liked..i didnt like the way it was narrated and the whole "teller" thing threw me off and i found it pointless ..they threw random word and names that u dont no what they mean by without explaination and it threw me off also..i read about girl heroines tougher then Matthew i mean having a male lead lik that would be refreshing but it didnt turn out right in this book (view spoiler) .. u never really got to know the characters with the was it was narrated i was really lookin forward to at least seein more of Ariel and the few moments that i kinda liked was of her and Matthew but still i was also disappointed with romance as in there wasnt much of it except Matthew claiming it but at times he seemed obsessed but i did lik how gentle and patient Matthew was with her well when she was in the book ..and the over use of the word iridescence they would describe something and Matthew would say it was iridescence even when the word would have nothin to do with what they just described.. i didnt like all the characters "tales" well i didnt like how they were told cause i could see what the author did with that but again it didnt work in this book mainly cause through out the whole book they would tell u something but u cant picture any of it u couldnt tell what the heck was goin on ...and i mean come on (view spoiler) ..i mean normaly it would take me days to read a book like this but it took me a couple weeks cause i would set it down for a few days not wanting to pick it up and one of those weeks was spring break which normaly mean non-stop reading but anyway i had finish it cause im one of the people who hates to leave in the middle of a book expecialy since i bought it
