This book was neither great nor bad. It was simply just okay. For me, I found the book quite slow and unmoving, a storyline that didn't really go anywhere. The characters were alright although didn't really draw me in as some characters in other books do and I had a little bit of trouble just getting into the general feel of the book. I had to push myself to finish this book at times as I felt the storyline was dragging a little. However, it wasn't all bad, it did have some parts that were a little easier to read.

Overall I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars as it wasn't terrible, but it just needed that extra push to make it something a little more.
