I really can't decide if this deserves 3 or 4 stars, but we're going with 3. The characters, world-building and everything but the writing style was amazing!! I just couldn't really picture the world and I had no real attachment to the characters, but the last 75ish pages were really good. Overall, read it if you want to, but if you don't, don't bother, really. 
 Edit 2/21/2017: i keep on thinking about this book lately, idk. 3.5 stars is a good rating. this novel had really good world building, looking back.
