I don't think I've ever felt this disappointed in a book before. I had heard amazing things about it and eventually got roped in by that fabulous premise. I was actually expecting a very cool (and semi-philosophical) sci-fi adventure story with a bit of a Hunger Games flair to it. However, this book just takes a completely wonderful concept like reincarnation and somehow manages to ... cheapen it. I was shocked and disappointed by the lack of originality in both writing, plot and character viewpoint.
Ultimately, I decided to DNF the book rather than continue reading it, only to give it a negative review in the end.
