I went into this book with mixed feelings, but ended up being thoroughly pleased in picking it up. The moving of point of views from the past to the present, while knowing to some degree how it all ends in the past, had me frustrated beyond belief even if it served the story well in the long run. The POV change happened at times where you are hooked into what is going on, and had to deal with the annoyance of putting that story point on hold while being happy to pick up the other one. The story is incredible, being familiar to the genre in concept, yet in truth was a unique take that had me loving every word and daydreaming about the possibilities of how it can advance in pathways. I cannot recommend this enough, perfect score.
