Incomplete

I realize my review title is a bit vague, but it does truly sum up my feelings about this book. I found all the side stories to be almost distracting and the main story didn't really feel like it reached closure. I want to like the book I felt something for some of the characters but I just wasn't a fan of the total piece. This felt like it should have been a series of books each about one of the story lines instead of one book of disjointed and somewhat unconnected storyline some of which were left dangling and incomplete.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
