Truly loved this book, read it in two days. Mysterious enough to keep you interested and on the edge of your seat, romantic enough to make you swoon, relevant enough to make you angry, tense enough to make you scared, and hopeful enough to be satisfying.
Didn't expect to love it as much as I did, but it was exactly the book I needed after two-ish weeks of not reading.
EDIT: Reread some of it and my opinion of it dropped a lil (kind of a lot). Leaves much to be desired, even if the writing is compelling. I know it's being praised for being concise but I actually think exploring the world more would have done it a little good.
