Emmett was a great character and I enjoyed his arc throughout the book; Lucian was cheeky though kind of annoying toward the end, but he's supposed to be; and Seredith was the best part of the entire thing.
Overall, my interest came and went throughout the novel and I'd have probably DNF'd it (again) if I weren't buddy reading it with a friend. Don't get me wrong, I know there is a market for people who would like this book (think fans of Erin Morgenstern and Neil Gaiman) but I quickly realised I wasn't one of them. I liked it enough to be interested in Collins' next novel (The Betrayal) but I'd have to be in a very specific mood to pick it up.
