This book deserves a 3 out of 5 stars. It is written well with excellent vocabulary and an original plot. It is a futuristic/fantasy book, but isn't what I would call "over the edge sci-fi". It is written in third person omnicient, but the reader only knows the thoughts of three characters.
The two stars were both taken off because of the ending. The climax of the story seems to have faded long before it and it was predictable, which took off one star. The epilogue convinced me to take off another and to confirm the action of taking off the first. It went against all of the characters values and did not actually explain what one should find in an epilogue
Overall, this book was a fun read. I would recommend it to anyone with patience in reading.
