My Rating: 2.0

Would I recommend?: Not really...

Why?: I wanted to love this book considering it came in an OwlCrate box and those books never seem to fail me. Unfortunately, I just could NOT get into this book! The first half of the book was actually surprisingly good, but the second half was just so slow and just left me asking: but WHY?
