*I got this book in exchange for a review (R2R)This was really good. The writing style was awesome, as was the plot and the developement of characters. However, there were two major points that really annoyed me.#1- That start. I'm sorry, but I just really, really did not like it. I was thrust into some random world, people were introduced without any introduction at all- they just sort of appeared and you had to try figure out who they were. It made everything really abrupt, and it took me until at least 25% of the way through to start enjoying the story. If it hadn't had been a Read 2 Review I probably wouldn't have bothered getting past that beginning. This is probably what lost that fifth star for me.And#2- Those random pieces of information thrown in. I think maybe a better way would have been to incorporate it into the story (like when they were getting BloodLinked, maybe the teacher could've explained?) because I didn't really like how some just appeared in between chapters. Yes, they were informative and helped clear some things up for me, but for me it made the story seem a bit choppy- like the flow was being interrupted.But other than those, it was great :) I was tempted to give this book only three stars, but the storyline stopped me. Some of those ideas were so original (I really liked the bloodlink and DreamScape ideas) and the way events triggered other events. Plus, I loved the romance development. That was awesome ;)
