The basic plot is interesting, but the writing is dull. The book was very one-dimensional.  I would have rated the book higher if it weren't for the way it ended.  It was like the author got bored of writing the story and ended it.  But not just ended it but ended it as a HAPPILY EVERY AFTER even though there was so many questions left unanswered.  This book really had SO MUCH potential.  If only the author had expanded the book by putting in some subplots about the other groups that where drawn to the gathering place.  Then the conflict at the end might have made more since.  I am glad I got this for free and being a short book, I didn't end up wasting too much time reading it.
