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.
