Such an amazing book by an amazing author. I must admit that at first, I did have trouble getting through this book. It confused me, and had really tested my mind, but as I continued reading and started to understand the words on the page, it got much more interesting. The fight scenes, as told by a girl who knew nothing about fighting were very tedious and I often times wanted to give up, but I still got through them.
