3.0

Amazing concept, great beginnin  and middle, but I found the ending disappointing. The ending felt very rushed, and was ended abruptly, now that could have been on purpose for a sequel however as far as I can tell this book is a stand alone and for that I have to judge it appropriately. 

The world building was decent and was a concept that has been done be for but the author had a fantastic take on it and for that I commend them. That being said I would have liked to have learnt just a tad bit more about the world as a whole. The charaters are well written and each main charater has a drive and ambition although the side charaters I found rather confusing and I kept mixing them up due to them being quite forgetful and not a lot of expansion on their character as a whole. 

Over all I wish this book was longer I really think another 60-100 pages would have allowed the author to flush out more of the concept and charaters and to have not rushed the ending as much. That all being said I know it sounded harsh, but,  I do hope there is a sequel because I would love to read more about/from this story line.
