WHAT I LIKED
I read this without leaving my couch. Not even to refill my tea.
/
The continually growing interplay between truth and deceit astounded me! I still don't 100% know what was truth or fake. Bonus: all of this was wrapped by Garber's rich, vivid imagery. It was like watching dew drops of magic eventually cover everything in sight with tiny jewels. Everything made perfect sense and no sense at the same time.
//
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
I wish there was more character development outside of the main character. I know the readers' aren't really supposed to have an idea of what the other actors/competitors are thinking, but I think Garber could have included more clues beyond the slightly stereotypical YA romance relationship. I felt some characters only grew in relationship to the main character, not on their own at all.
