I'm tempted to give this more than three stars, because I did really enjoy this book. I like the story, I LOVE the setting.
But the dialogue let this book down. It felt unnatural and jumbled, and the characters all seem to speak the same way.
It was a very fun read, but not as polished as I had hoped.
