3.5

Entertainment-wise the book is good but the descriptions and names of places/objects as well as other things are almost painful. It is almost twilight-esque with the relationship between some characters and the main character gives-off Bella Swan vibes. It took a minute for me to get absorbed into it but it got better a little further  towards the end. Overall it was entertaining and I will be purchasing the next book.
