There was a lot going on in this book and I think because of that, the whole thing was overwhelming. The beginning of the book had me hooked- there was interesting character development and initial questions that I was hoping would be answered. However, by the middle of the book, it got a little crazy and there were so many new things happening, that many questions were never answered and new things popped up that were not addressed. Of course, this allows sequels to be developed so that you must read on to get these answers, but I don't think I need to read further. I think the book had enormous potential, it just lost itself along the way.
