This book has a lot going for it. The premise sounds interesting. The characters are appealing. There's interesting twists scattered throughout.Sadly, the pacing is poor. The author seems to be playing a game of "I know something you don't know" with the reader. This can work, if the "secrets" are revealed at a reasonable pace, or appear as a twist at the end. This book does neither. Hints are dropped throughout about what is happening, and some things are revealed. But between those reveals is a lot of filler, and some of the reveals are pointless.I feel like this is a book that would have to be read twice - once to find out what is going on, and then reread once you know what is going on in order to actually enjoy the story. Sadly, I cannot finish it once, not to mention twice. I managed to get 50% through, but cannot bring myself to go farther.
