While I thought the plot of this book seemed really interesting and it actually prompted me to look up stuff and learn things that are less spoken about, I could not read the book. I dropped it halfway through after I really tried to hang on to it.

There area few reasons why I dropped the book. One of them is the description. Without actually repeating itself, the description felt very repetitive. The description gave me the impression of a school assignment where you had to fill the pages with something, anything.

And the setting... Something about the manner it was presented didn't sit well with me. I can't really pinpoint it, but something bothered me there. Which is a shame because I was really curious about what's going to happen with Ikolo and Elliot. And I really liked Ikolo.

Another reason; there are so many writing errors. Sometimes they are really distracting, especially when I read about something that's 'her[s]' when there's no 'her', or when I have no clue who I'm reading about because the author didn't mention any of the characters. And these are just two examples.

I actually want to read this book, but not this one. The premise is great, but everything else lacks a lot.
