I had to push myself to actually finish reading this book. As an 25+ adult, this YA style just wasn’t for me anymore. Some sentences and ways of describing situations didn’t feel right (wobbly breathing, for example?). Only at the last few chapters I felt like it was finally getting up to speed. Also, as a Dutch reader, the near-Dutch names and places randomly sprinkled through made it annoying to read. It kept throwing me off pace. I won’t be reading the second book.
