Great opening, better ending but lacking a middle. The middle drew on, slowed the pace of the book and more or less ruined it for me. That is not to say that this was a bad book. It just wasn't a good one either.
For a book that left the plot to the beginning and ending, it had terrible characters to sustain it through the slow middle. No one was particularly likeable, and almost all of them seemed completely unreal. Any moments of reality captured didn't include any of the characters.
Female characters were particularly lacking in this novel. They had weak motivations and no real, clear voice.
I felt like some of the "minor" characters were lacking in having their portion of the story told. All in all, this was entertaining enough, but it just wasn't they type of thing that I would say is a must-read, or even a if-you-have-the-time read.
