I haven't picked this back up since I started it. I think I made it like 15% of the way through. I could just tell it wasn't for me.
Are our lives controlled by fate or by the choices we make? What if it’s both, and neither can be separated from the other? This novel explores those questions in an entertaining way, with realistic characters who each had a story that stood on its own.
I read this earlier this year and somehow didn't mark it complete. It starts out strong - with the just the right premise to make my spine tingle with the hint of magic. But then it was just all right. Perhaps if it hadn't hit all the right notes in the first chapter, I would've had lower expectations and ironically thought more highly of it. Alas, I was disappointed.
