I absolutely loved the beginning of this book. Super interesting and fast-paced. The second part just got very confusing. It was like this book didn't know what genre it wanted to be and just threw everything in. So, everything got confusing and muddled. I think this is a fan fic for Nathaniel Hawthrone. I just did not care. If you're super interested in that author, this will be for you. Unfortunately, this didn't do it for me. 2/5
