The plot of this book was definitely a new one for me and one that I found rather inspiring and maybe even a little deep (in a good way). I will say I wish the book had a little less high school drama and a little more Hara-Kris drama, I know now that a lot of it was important for character development and through it all I really got to know each character but I wanted more of the Hara-Kris as they were the thing that really pulled me to read this book. I felt that even with a lot of information the story moved a bit slow and I wanted so much more. I felt bad for Calloway I wish that everyone would have given him the chance he was only granted by a few, this boy is a rarity among men, his fierce belief that humanity is innately good and just strays once in a while is not something you find nowadays, and also his willingness to stand up for others no matter the cost to himself was very admirable and I hope to someday know someone half as valiant as he. Calloway is a big reason I kept reading and is a big reason I want to continue the series.I think this series has the potential to be epic, after finding the white wing and realizing they are not on their own, these three friends have some big discoveries in their future, well I hope so anyway, and I really really hope there will be more on Calloway's father, information on him are the giant puzzle pieces that need to be found in order for them to get answers.The deep idea of the meaning of life is there but it is not hitting you in the face and making you feel dumb, I believe that Calloway's cousin helps a lot there he asks the questions we are all thinking and it gets us to the point a little quicker. I think the possibilities are endless with the topics discussed in this book and I am very curious to see the direction author E.L. Todd will take with it.This is a good read and I hope many others pick it up and find it's beauty for themselves.
