Okay ending aside this book was bloody good!!!!
But first I do have to mention the epilogue, it didn't really wrap anything up and kind of left me feeling disappointed.
Now with that out of the way, what about everything else?!
Well the characters, whilst sometimes were on the side of irritating, were for the most part really likeable. They could have been created more in depth, but the secrecy around them actually lent itself to the story.
And the story itself was really well done, I liked how it was set inside the caves, allowing the author to rely on the claustrophobic atmosphere and the tight feeling of anxiety in your chest... not knowing if they would get out or not...
Plus, the writing was really good! I loved the inserts of conversation/interview with the various characters!
On the whole, it was an entertaining read and right up to the epilogue I was really glad I'd picked it to read.
