I was sorely disappointed in this book. Spoilers below. 
 I liked Elias. I liked Laia when she wasn't basing how strong she felt that day on whether she was near Elias or Keenan. I wanted to like Helene, like a lot. And I respect her but I don't care much about her despite it all and I really want to like her. I don't know if that's just me, but her narration comes across as dry and it doesn't help the whole liking and caring about her as a character situation. 
 The journey of any of the characters throughout the entire book felt less like a journey and more like a daily log. It was a lot of telling with little to no showing. And it got repetitive and dry real quick. Then perhaps plot reveals/twists could have helped things out but they were so easy to predict that the entire book was overall underwhelming. I think that's the key word. Totally underwhelming. It could have been more but it really fell flat for me.
