3.5 Stars I really wanted to love this book. I liked it fine but I probably expected too much from all the hype that surrounds it. I still think A. S. King is a phenomenal writer. I liked the characters, the plot was solid, and the character development was good. And yet, somehow I feel like there's something missing. I'm sure I'm going to read more of King's books in the future. The writing style is very much my cup of tea.
