Review
I was really torn on how to rate this book in terms of stars. There were some really great qualities in the book and some things that really bothered me.
The writing style is incredible! My favorite aspect of the writing style was the way that the world is developed. The story is told by someone who does not know much about the world; therefore, the world is developed slowly and this made the book a lot more interesting than if all the information was thrown at you all at once. If it had been given to you all in one chapter, it may have seemed quite overwhelming.

The characters where really complex and dynamic. I really enjoyed this aspect, but some of the characters really got on my nerves. I cannot go into details, because this is a spoiler free review. If you want more details, visit my Goodreads review where I have all the details hidden in a spoiler
The overall plot was very interesting. It was filled with action and suspense and also a love triangle. The romance aspect of this book is one thing that really bothered me. Once again, I cannot go into details because of spoilers, but feel free to see my Goodreads review if you don't mind spoilers.
