reburkah's review against another edition

2.25

I guessed the major twist of this book at around page 122 of this book which really ruined my enjoyment of it, especially since the first 100 pages are so tedious. Chapters are 50 pages plus at some points and I didn't feel invested in any of the characters; if they had all died I would've cared the same amount about this book. Some things seem to be for shock factor only (self-harm, rape). The later Dinah chapters were so boring I almost gave up a few times! I really liked Sundial but this is obviously an early book of hers.
