There are large parts of this book that feel like they directly mirror their inspirations. It feels like a mix of Eragon, Zodiac Academy, Lord of the Rings, etc., all in one. Everything was very predictable.
That being said, even knowing what was coming and feeling like I’d seen all of this before, this book still ripped my heart out and stomped it into the ground.
So MUCH happens in this book, I almost can’t believe that this was all one book.
My largest complaint is that Violet is supposed to be like their chosen one, the savior, and the best mind of her generation, but she takes SO LONG to put essential information together and to figure out her emotional issues. I often wanted to reach into the book and smack her.
