YEESH, what a horrible, twisty, downright NASTY easter egg hunt of a book. I didn't know I'd end up with a readalike that blended summer, fireworks, and my corpse and the laws of the skies together so soon after reading both. I need a long bath.

This book wasn't what I expected and it kept surprising me. They handled a few topics in ways I wasn't the biggest fan of, but overall it was written in and interesting way and I didn't see the twists coming.
