It started off great, but the ending felt a little anticlimactic(?) — on the side of it was easy to tell what was going to happen. And while I did find the characters very intriguing, I couldn’t connect with the main ones (and is it me or did the addition of Serena sort of took power away from Eli). I really liked where the story was going though, and especially the way it was told (I felt like completing a puzzle but I wasn’t confused so it was great). I had an enjoyable time, but it didn’t quite break my brain the way I wished it did.
