I was so excited for this book... all the hype meant that I opened this with extremely high expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't meet them all. 
 I won't deny that the plot was brilliant and well-paced, the last one-hundred pages dangerously addictive. But the first three-hundred? While I kept reading because I wanted to know all the answers to the small mystery's in this book, it took me ages to get through. 
 The main reason for this was because Laia was a blank canvas. Her motivations were clear: save her brother. And she just kept saying that over and over... I was told how much he meant to her, not shown. I didn't really care about her at all. 
 Elias started out that way as well, but his personality seemed to deepen and twist as the book progressed which i really liked, but Laia was constantly boring and did everything that I expected. 
 Another thing I didn't like about this book.... the romance. Sorry, but it was just unnecessary. Laia had to Elias and Keenan... Elias had Helene or Laia. WHY? 
 Overall, I would recommend this book but don't go in with too high expectations like I did. I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I hadn't been expecting absolute brilliance. 
 It was enjoyable, and I will be reading the sequel.
