Half a Soul

This book is one of those that while I do think it has some glaring issue's I ended up liking tremendously.  The first problem for me is that the plot felt like it became rushed towards the end and overall was pretty anti-climatic. The second is that while the concept is quite interesting with Dora and largely handled really well it does feel like there are times where she has greater access to her emotions and feelings then necessarily makes sense.

Enough complaining though! I am a sucker for the witty banter and while there are instances where it's more meanspirited in this novel then I typically would go for, I found myself having a good laugh seeing wit's collide! I also enjoyed the relationships over all, from the cousins, the friends, and the romance. Speaking of the romance, I was skeptical given how short the book is, but I did quite enjoy how it unfolded. Also a positive for me with some of the criticism on the class system, albeit this is touched on fairly lightly. 

Overall, a whimsical fast read that I had a great time with and I look forward to continuing the series.
