booksthatburn's review against another edition
Stopping because I’m bored. Since it starts off with one of the two main characters having a vision about how she’ll fall in love with the other one, I immediately felt like any potential romance is pointless, since she wasn’t attracted before having the vision. There’s too little drama for it to be an exciting read, and too much trauma for it to be a soothing read, which hits an uncomfortable middle zone for me.
I adjusted to the mixed dual-POV style, so this isn’t part of why O stopped, but it definitely threw me at first to have the focus of the third-person omniscient view switch between the two main characters repeatedly within each chapter.
There’s lot of great worldbuilding happening, with some cool details about items, clothing, and architecture, but that ultimately wasn’t enough to hold my interest.

obviousthings's review
DNF at the end of part 4 (85% according to my ebook reader). I did really like the beginning of this, but I eventually lost interest. Not sure if that's me or the book, though - I'm picky about what I read these days & it seems like I only really like about YA about a quarter of the time.
