I've never hated a book and its characters THIS much before. The first half of the book was so promising with its plot and its (really windy) introduction to this "new world" only to never hear about it again. Another major thing that put me off so much was how the majority of the book was our MC obsessing over a 30 year old man. HUHH?? Was she not shown to be a smart (albeit not very street smart), confident young women and the second she reaches Wainscotia she becomes a helpless little sap whose whole life revolves around a man. 

I would've appreciated the ending better if there was a solid world-building instead of reading a kid crush over  a GROWN man for most of the book.
