The story itself was interesting, after getting more then half way through. It was a close DNF at the beginning though. There were a lot of character POV changes and new character introductions too soon for my liking in the story, and I never felt the "I like her/him!" with any of them. Though while not a cliffhanger, don't expect any type of happy ending at the end either. In fact, this book was so dark, and the world was so miserable, I have a hard time seeing a HEA at any point in the series. It had a bit of a Hunger Games feel to it in that sense. However, I am interested to see where the rest of the series goes from here. Full review to come...
