First read of 2015! 
 This has been on my to read list for quite a few months now, but I didn't get round to buying it until this week. 
 I was very relieved to find a convincing male narrative, as opposed to the weak attempts I've been reading recently. The characters were wonderful, I could understand their actions, and instead of filling the book with many unnecessary characters the author chose to focus on just a few, and fully develop them. 
 The only reason I gave this 4, not 5 stars was because I didn't really feel as much as I think I could have when Holland's secret was revealed. However having said that, I also found the plot, and the actions of the characters very realistic.
