Ugh. So relieved to finally be finished with this book so I can move on to something else. 
 It wasn't awful, but it was tedious. And while there were some very new creative elements (particularly the magic and willstones) everything just felt so "been there, done that." The setting was interesting in that it was a blend of medieval and futuristic, but...it just didn't work. It felt forced and awkward and made things hard to visualize. The main character drove me crazy. She was far too self-righteous. 
 Most of all, there were so many things that were never explained! The book read like a stand-alone, but it has to have been part of a series just for all the unanswered questions. First off, I didn't even get the consolation of an ending for forcing myself to finish this book. The ending was terrible. The HUGE question of WHY Lillian brought Lily there in the first place was never explained. That's not something that should have to wait for a second book for clarification. And then there are the smaller things, like why there was no Rowan in Lily's world or what's really wrong with Lillian. 
 I just....no. It wasn't really BAD, but I just didn't enjoy it at all. I have no idea how it got such high ratings on Goodreads. I trusted you people!
