5.0

I picked up this book, didn’t read the back & bought it. I just had some feeling that I was going to love this book & I did. The world is intricate and the premise is so different from any other books I’ve come across- and I’m a veteran reader, for my age at least. I have so many more questions and am looking forward to the future books. Now, I didn’t give it the full five stars  because the love subplot really took me by surprise, in a way it shouldn’t have. There was not  much foreshadowing. It didn’t even need to be in obvious (ex. Toes curled in my shoes). Like I thought the romantic interests were into other people!
