Well, I really liked the ending.

Okay, I've had a few days to process. The world works for me and the story did as well. I didn't really love the characters. I get that Cassia's voice/the writing is probably supposed to be kind of stiff and formal because of the world she lives in. But as a reader that could grate a bit. Also, I didn't really fall for either guy. I mean, they were fine. Both attractive and with their own positive qualities. But in a teen novel, I want to be swept away by one of them. I just wasn't.
I don't know if I'll continue the series. I'm a bit curious about where it all goes, but I'm not sure I care enough for Cassia and company to read on.
