4.0

This book was pretty much a solid 3-star for me until the end; I just thought the ending was really well structured and put together, and that's what moved it to a 4-star. All in all, i have to say not the best story for me, a lot of tragedy, a lot of depression. I definitely prefer my fantasy, over realistic contemporary stories. But the ending got me.
