4.25
I really enjoyed reading this book and found myself not wanting to put it down between chapters regularly.
I decided I couldn't rate it higher than I have however for a couple reasons:
Firstly I couldn’t get onboard with the Atlas/Avery relationship. Too weird given she was 5 when he became her brother - very young - which made the whole thing a bit gross and not something I could root for. Secondly the ending was too open-ended for this to be entirely stand alone. The final chapter eluded to a sequel, by pointing out open questions a little too obviously, however this is the sort of book I think could have benefited from being stand alone personally.
Having said all that thought, I still gave it 4.25 as I really did enjoy reading it, I just had a couple qualms.
