It took me two tries to get into this book.. 
 The first half for me was straining, im not sure if it was because of the vagueness or writing style or if I was just expecting to much having read other people's reviews). 
 The second half (or the last third of the book) blew me away though. this is what I had been waiting for since picking it up! 
 Finally.. 
 The fact it had such unusual turns and is off the cliche list are all big + for me.. Im very interested to pick up the next installment although im also a tiny bit apprehensive it's not going to stay this fascinating.
