I expected to deeply enjoy this book. I was incredibly disappointed. It is far too wordy in a way that interferes with the pacing of the story. I didn't feel a connection with the characters. There are too many side characters. The parents just let their daughter run off into the woods to save her brother without attempting to join her. The plot is okay, but doesn't balance out the flaws in the book. 

I think some serious editing would have made a big difference. If you're going to read this book, go in with moderate expectations.
