DID NOT FREAKING FINISH! 
 Ok, so don't hate me because I gave one of the most expected novels for 2015 a bad review.. but I honestly could NOT give this book more than two stars.. I don't even know why I'm giving it a two-star review when it should be even LESS! 
 See now I've read the AWESOME AND FANTASTIC Grisha trilogy and absolutely LOVED it! It's on my top books shelf and I loved the plot building and the idea around the Grisha. 
 However, this book had me stumped. We started off in a way which I, as a reader, had NO idea who any of the characters were. The names were even too difficult to remember and there were too many characters at one time so it was a hella confusing! 
 And then I couldn't even comprehend that they were living in a place where there were so many MAFIA-type gangs around, each with their very own tattoo (come to think of it, they may be more than one tattoo sign per gang).. and then on with the 6 characters who are supposed to be part of this weird group that goes in to "rescue" a guy who makes some kind of miracle drug that aims to let Geisha have powers extraordinary to theirs. 
 LOST I WAS SO LOST I TELL YOU! 
 I was forcing myself to read through the pages and repeat several chapters just in order to understand the plot and story more. Having so many characters with very little character description was extremely messy and did not help me appreciate the story at all ! 
 and I honestly did not appreciate the author starting with the action and, as an example, having Matthias and Nina absolutely hate each other and keep referring back to an "incident" and then having that incident explained a million chapters later. WHAT! I CAN'T EVEN 
 The only part which made my heart warm a little towards the story was how Kaz lost his brother. I mean that really broke my heart. 
 OTHERWISE I AM SORRY BUT I SINCERELY GAVE UP ON THIS HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BOOK!
