Ok- I guess I'm going to be in the minority here. I'm a bit stuck on how to describe this book. I liked parts of it, but almost hated others.
I spent the entire first half of the book wondering what the heck was going on. The author appears to be writing a fairly "normal" contemporary YA book one minute, then completely switches gears and writes a confusing, strange, and odd paranormal in the next. A lot of the scenery descriptions felt like the author was just trying too hard to make it creepy. The storyline was kind of all over the place.
I also had a hard time connecting with either of the main characters. The peripheral cast was more interesting than Theia, who at times was mousy, and at other times was so rash she came off as almost TSTL. She certainly doesn't think her actions through, and at several points during the book, there were some real "head-slap" moments. Haden was mostly unlikable throughout the book, only redeeming himself near the end, when I thought it was already too late.
I'm kind of torn about whether or not to continue this series- I'm just not sure I really care enough about any of the characters to bother.
