Didn't hold a candle to Finnikin, as far as I'm concerned. I seem to be in the minority here, which is fine. I am having a substantial amount of difficulty formulating tactful and cogent explanations for why this didn't work for me. 
 Tactful being the key word. I like the other Marchetta I've read. She does broken people like nobody's business. But this was... I want to say "too much" and "undifferentiated". 
 That's all I've got at the moment. More some other time, perhaps, with some distance.
