I really liked the book. Really. However, the reason why it took me 1-2ish months to finish reading this book rather than 1-2 days was because the starting didn't catch my interest. I found myself getting bored, even when the action started immediately. I thought there was a hook, but there WASN'T a hook. I don't know how to describe it.

But! But...I re-read it after my examinations, and I was completely sucked into the plot. I just had to pass that "boring" stage, and WHAM! Completely, utterly hooked. I even complained to my mum how empty I felt after I realized I had finished the book.

The characters, the description, the creatures, the idea, EVERYTHING in it (besides the starting, but that's just my opinion) made me love this book. I just can't even describe it. However, one star lost for losing me right from the start, and one star for the dire need for an editor. The title and cover was a little misleading too.

Great book though.
