I enjoyed the book and thought that it was a really interesting story and world. The story was a little slow at points though.
I ended up enjoying this book, but a lot of it took me a long time to finish it. I think the main reason for that is I didn't really enjoy either of the main characters. Moon was ... fine, but her obsession with Sparks sorta lost her for me. Sparks starts awful and gets worse. I never enjoyed a seen with him. The side characters were so much more interesting, and if the whole book was just from Jerusha's perspective, I would've been happy. The worlds are intriguing, the writing is really good, and the complexity of many of the storylines is really unique, especially for the time period, but overall I think I'll forget a lot of it and probably not pick up the sequels.
