content: The book bounces around terribly at times. I understand following characters as they split up, but spending ten paragraphs with one character and another dozen with a second group then transitioning to an equal amount of time with yet a 3rd is very difficult for me as a reader. It's simply hard to get into the stories this way. The absolute worst part of the book is that it's only half there. I know the sequel is out now, but I simply don't feel like it's appropriate to award the author for simply splitting a story for what appears to be nothing more than a chance to reach into my wallet a second time.
