2.5 stars. this book was seriously right down the middle for me. unfortunately i think it's falling victim to my reading slump because it took me almost a month to finish it. but there's also a lot of really shitty characters in it. but obviously to write a character that invokes that kind of hatred from me, means she's a good writer. i'm VERY excited to read her next book. i already pre-ordered it. but this one was definitely just okay, in my opinion. 
 it also didn't help that someone compared it to Night Circus... no. no. no.
