I really wanted to like this book. Honestly there were short snippets of chapters that held my attention and kept me turning the page, but for the most part I didn't enjoy it. I felt no connection to the characters, and didn't even know who they were. What the heck is a mime-lord? Are there mimes? Can't he just be called a lord? The whole book felt like someone picked up the chapters, shuffled them around, then put them back in the wrong order. I wanted Paige's backstory much sooner- I didn't really care who she was or that she was captured because I didn't have any reason to. Her relationship with Warden was intriguing, but as soon as things got interesting we jumped back in time. I wish this would have been edited differently- I may have liked it more. Bummer.
