4.5

I really enjoyed Jackson’s creation of a real world, with diverse characters and realistic uglies, such as bigotry and SA. It’s not a happy tale, despite the “happy ending”, but it is a story that I could envision being real. The only thing I didn’t like is that I didn’t feel like there were enough clues that led to the final reveal, I don’t know that it fully came together in a way that made complete sense. However, I still really enjoyed this book and will be reading the sequel.
