So heres what I thought:

Thing is there are parts of this book that I really enjoyed and then other areas that I felt like I had to trudge through. The prologue was interesting which is what got me into wanting to know more about what was going on. Then there was the beginning that was interesting but a little too much was going on for me to catch up.

(I feel like the point of views should have its on section in this review )Ok so, I love books with multiple POV'S but to me this book had way too many point of views that I somewhat found a bit confusing and hard to keep tabs on who's history was connected to whom. As much as I love getting the history of each character to find the reasoning why they were the way they were it was all a bit too much.Then there seemed like random fillers by talking about the point of view of random passerbys and their history in the book that are somehow connected to the main characters. I feel like the only point of views I should've been the main characters. As much as there was confusion I'm glad to know the history of the characters though. I'm just kind of wondering if the random people and their histories with somehow be connected to the next couple books or where they just randomly there...

As for the story itself, it had a interesting and well written storyline. Unique and I'm curious on whats with Frank and look forward to seeing the next books to see how things get handled.There was plenty going on to keep the readers interested. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

4 of 5 stars!
