Comments: I find this book interesting especially the protagonist and the whole setting. I enjoyed reading it, the book is very unexpected, and some parts of the book change almost instantly. Parts in the book I enjoy and like are the great descriptions and the foreshadowing, which at first you sometimes don't understand, but then when you go over it twice you start to like it and think it's brilliant. I rate this book a 8.5/10 because it's great, but there's too much negativity and i personally don't think people are that negative.
