Placed on hold 5/5/15: WELL. This book has a lot of hype -- there's no doubt about that -- and I'm SO CONFUSED on what to do here. I've been listening to the audiobook for a week now and have only made it 25%. I don't feel like listening anymore. I am actively bored. 
 The beginning started off with a bang but then I feel like by 25%, things still haven't panned out. The characters feel very one-dimensional. The world feels unoriginal -- sort of like a mash-up of several different dystopian worlds and plots all thrown into a Roman-type feel. The narration isn't reeling me in at all. And what's sad is that I'm listening to two of my favorite narrators who I was convinced I could listen to if they were just reading the phone book but apparently that's not true since I have no motivation to listen to them read this story. 
 Aside from the feeling like this has all been done before, it also feels so forced. Oh yay, a convenient prophecy that happens to be there. With very specific yet cryptic clues. It just doesn't feel like it's working for me. 
 But do I DNF? So many people have LOVED it... But some friends have also put it down or rated it 3 or even 2 stars. Maybe I'll join the black sheep club (or will it pan out to be a more even distribution once more reviews come in?) but for now, it's on hold until I decide if I want to continue or not. I do have my ARC that I got from ALAMW so I was wondering if I'd like it better in print but I just don't feel like picking it up. I have no interest in seeing where the story goes at the moment (usually a DNF sign) so we'll see if I have the urge to come back to it in a little bit.
