horizonous's review against another edition

There's nothing really wrong with this book and I also can't say I didn't enjoy the first half.. it's just that I can't bring myself to pick it back up again. At least at the moment I have no desire to do so.. maye I'll change my mind in the future, but for now this is a DNF.

I really enjoyed this! I was constantly being caught off guard with the plot twists, it felt like everything that happened was the worst case scenario. But it was still fun to read! I love Lila so much I want to read the rest of the series just for her.
