I like it but there are some parts that frustrated me so much.
I'm not a fan of the main character, I think she is a hypocrite. She will criticize others for the same things she is doing all the time. I'm trying to accept that she is young (17?) so it's normal that she contradicts herself but I cannot stand it. She acts so mature sometimes but so arrogant & childish in others
Regarding the pacing issues, it's written like a fast-paced book but some parts are details while others are short with missing words. I really wished I had more information in some parts.
A lot of topics are talk in the book and I find it interesting.
I hope the trilogy finishes with the main character dead.
