This book is one of the worst things that I have ever read. The characters were dry and flat, they seemed to have no voice or personality whatsoever. Because of this, I couldn't connect or relate to a single character, which made me hate the book even more. Riley is also uber stupid, whiny, and annoying, on a parallel level to Reshma from Enter Title Here. [Sorry, the link doesn't pop up]. Even if the characters were written correctly and weren't annoying brats, I had no idea what was going on. All of the places or things in the book, like the Council, weren't written with enough detail, and weren't really explained. I don't live inside the author's head, so therefore I had no backstory to anything. It was really frustrating to try and figure out what exactly was going on. Quite frankly, the whole plot was stupid. If you don't think so, just read the summary again. I don't even know why I bothered to read it all. Well, I guess it might have been from the fact that I bought this book for a dollar from a rummage sale, because I thought it might be good. It isn't even worth a dollar. In fact, I would have to get paid to read this book again. Please do yourself a favor and never read it.
