This book was really good! I give it 4.5 stars instead of just 4 and thats because the beginning was REALLY slow and even though it was good writing it was just kind of hard to get through. I really like it by the end and I just felt so bad for Cassel the entire book. He tried so hard to make up for what he was forced to do and in the end it still wasn't enough. This plot was so original and unlike anything I've ever read. Definitely going to read the sequels! (:
