The idea for this book was really good but I was disappointed with the execution. 
 The love plot line between Elyse and William was really unbelievable. There was no build up or any reason for the two characters to love each other. Instead they just sort of announced they loved each other about a week after meeting each other. After this, they said all the right things but I just couldn't feel the connection between the characters. 
 The world building could have been very interesting in a Harry Potter type way with all the different specialized abilities but this really wasn't explored fully. In a similar way, the characters didn't feel fully developed and I couldn't connect with them. 
 I was expecting to really enjoy this book because of the great reviews and the interesting blurb. Perhaps I just expected too much.
