This was a pretty good book, but not amazing. I liked the premise, and the overall story was enjoyable. There were a number of plot holes or just things that seemed out of place throughout. I also didn't feel like the prose raced across the page and left me craving the next chapter the way I would expect a book of this genre to.

A very interesting plot, I enjoyed that they did not seem to just have worked everything out just because they were the Chosen Ones. However the ending was very rushed, I'm unsure if Roth plans to write a sequel or not but even still the

meshing of the worlds and the group reuniting with Inez and then splitting up happened way too quickly

I would have preferred a few extra chapters fleshing out the end rather than just cutting it off.
