Just finished reading this book. It was a good surprise. It takes a few chapters to drag you in but after that you are passed those chapters to another universe and you just want to stay there. Eager to read volume 2 and 3

[Jackie · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 Interesting plot but clunky writing and a complete lack of character development make this far less enjoyable than it should have been.

I remember reading this ages ago and loving it! The rating is based on my reading experience as a teen.
