I've finished the book -- have you?
To me, this read like a young adult novel. Not only because the characters are young, but also because of the writing style. It's very workmanlike and plain. I didn't mind it much, but it made me want to read quickly in many parts and just get on to the next interesting scene. What I mean is, the writing itself wasn't worth lingering over.
