This was a magical and intriguing read. I am not the biggest fan of magical realism but I really did like this book. Those who love the genre will eat it up rather quickly. I am very much looking forward to the sequel.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. On one hand it was full of magic and mystery, and on the other it was bland and tiresome. I love books that weave complicated patterns, where red herrings are left to fool you and where the story is deep and intriguing. This didn’t cut it for me. It was too easy, all ends were tied up with no worries and I was never shocked or amazed by anything. It was okay, but not mind blowing.

Not bad. Some parts were a bit too repetitive but overall it was ok for me.

3.5 stars. I inhaled this novel, loved the drama, and just wanted to figure it all out! That being said, the writing at times was a bit confusing and bland. Not horrible, just a side effect of being an adult reading YA I think. I'm definitely going to check out the rest of the series. ...more
