I enjoyed this book, but I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had skipped reading reviews prior to pulling it off the shelf. Plot points revealed in most reviews took away from the discoveries meant to take place as you read. I enjoyed the characters and was left wanting to know more about them. The end felt anticlimactic to me, but that is likely more of a preference thing than an issue with the book itself.
