This was awful. I managed to finish it...barely. The author managed to take an interesting concept and totally kill it. The only reason I was able to finish it was because it was only around 250 pages. If it had been much longer I never would have made it. The plot dragged out while the characters dithered in place or another. And then in the last 10 pages, everything was suddenly resolved. Things that really should have taken place over a longer section in the book, took place in a paragraph. Very abrupt. And considering how dull and how little was accomplished in the earlier parts of the book were, it was especially jarring. Event hough it ends on a setup for a sequel, I didn't even bother to swear that I would never read it. I just knew I never, ever would. And I recommend you don't even pick this one up.
