The descriptions and really anything that isn't dialogue I really didn't like. It was all so metaphorical that it was often hard to understand what was even going on. The characters were really not relatable whatsoever.  

Also, this is supposed to be a dark book, but all the elements that would make it dark or morbid or whatever are either glossed over or totally made light off by the characters reactions, actions of dialogue. They make the fact that Lina is going to be sacrificed seem like it's all just a joke. 

The magic system is extremely vague and not explained very well. It also seems to vary per person. Logistically a lot of the plot just makes no sense because of it. Among other things. Lots of cool things are left out and totally skipped and Lina keeps storing shit in her bra (even though it is also mentioned she has small ass tits so like how the fuck) which I could really do without. 

The ending was also extremely predictable from like 100-150 pages is which made the rest of the book really boring to read and hella hard to get through.
