Review: Just  a So-So read for me...

The first part of the book was understandably slow, being as the world building was taking place.  It is an interesting premise for a storyline, and has great potential to develop into an exciting series.  However, this was (for me, anyway), one of those books that didn't read fast.  I found myself taking lots of breaks between reading times instead of reading it straight through (as I tend to do when I'm properly engrossed with a book).First of all, the writing had awkward sentence structure and poor grammar, which slowed up the reading.  Unfortunately,  the plot was not exciting enough to make me overlook this, because I just couldn't relate to any of the characters.  Maybe a young adult would feel differently.  I disliked the main character, and felt that the supporting characters (with the possible exception of Adrian) came across as overly forgiving floormats.However, the world presented in this novel was interesting, and towards the end I found myself caught up in the unfolding story.  Which saved the book for me.  Some strong language and light sexual situations may not be appropriate for a very young reader, but I'm sure older teens will enjoy the book.  Will I buy the next in the series?  Probably not--but then again, I'm apparently not the main target audience.
