Omg, I don't even know where to begin. I mean, the feels! THE FEELS! This book was just... wow. I don't think a book has hit me that strong in years. I mean... seriously. Part of me is horrified that I need to wait a couple of weeks for book 2 to get here, and part of me is glad for the chance to take a deep breath between the books.

This book is not an easy book. It's going to make you question morals, it's going to show you awful things, it's going to make your heart race and tears roll down your checks and pain spread through your heart. It's going to make you feel hopeless, and then hopeful, and then hopeless again. It's going to end on a note that will stop your heart.
And I consider all those very good reasons for you to read it.

Honestly, I'm not sure how to review this book. I don't want to give up too much, but there are a few things I do want to talk about. From the easy to the hard.
