Excellent book! Really liked the original idea of the After and all it's rules and levels. The Unknowns was a nice addition, it was almost like an after life zombie fight at one point, which I loved xD
The pacing was great, just fast enough that there is always something going, but enough downtime to get to know the characters and for them to develop a relationship. Speaking of which I loved the easy banter between Sam and Winnie, and Winnie's defense mechanism was pretty funny since I identify with it a bit xD
I would still get a bit frustrated with Winnie at times, I understood why she was doing it, but I still didn't like it, then again, that's what makes her Winnie. The ending killed me! I want to know what happens already! D:

I really quite enjoyed this book. As always I enjoyed Eaton's writing style and her ability to make characters the are fun and enjoyable.
Even with all of Win's sass and sarcasm she is overly loveable and isn't far off from people that I keep as friends. And Sam's just adorable with his little sweater vests.
I liked the whole theory of our afterlife and the set-up of it. I mean I disliked the Unknown's and their creepiness but I like their reason for being exactly what they are. I like the idea of their being a transitional period from a caged soul to a free one.
The only thing I really disliked about this story was the length. I wish it had been longer! I feel a little left out and like some things could have been explained more. Then again, seeing as how it's from Win's POV and she's new to the world and doesn't really know what's going on, I guess I shouldn't know what's going on either!
I'm going to be waiting super impatiently for the next installment of this series!
