This book was very hard to understand in the beginning but as it progressed it got easier to understand. All the vocabulary was fine just understanding the world at first was a little hard. Then the middle of the book was good once you understood the working of the world. Then I disliked the ending, not because of what the character decided at the end but how it was a cliff hanger. It got me a bit mad because I didn't like the book at the start then I thought it was going to get way better but the end just cut it off. Though I believe the author did this so he can make another book. The best thing about this book was the setting which was this other world. Going to much detail in this world and not helping out the characters made this book not so great. All in all this book is not that good, the thing I would change is to work on the plot.
