I really enjoyed the character dynamics and dialogue. The story was slightly predictable and cliché, and the world had some big flaws. But most of all it was just a joy to read.

I really liked Zy and his character, but the story is about Willow and her perception of the world. To begin with I really enjoyed getting an insight into her life and struggles, but after a while I started missing more depth to the story than it supplied. Stuff did happen, but the book just kind of skipped past the things that I'd have found interesting. I loved the idea and the unique presentation....more

RiFull of anxious high strung drama, cliffhangers (even between chapters), abuse and posturing. I kind of hated it while being unable to put it down. Right now (right after finishing it) I kind of want to gobble up the next one while feeling kind of repulsed by the thought of reading it. The only thing I really enjoyed were her constant attempts at trying to defuse escalations....more

I think it was supposed to be funny, but I found it hysterical and ridiculous. Fortunately it calmed down for the second half. The story itself was almost like one of those kids summer camp movies trying to target adults. And I don't see how that could ever be a success....more
