The book was enjoyable for the action but Gwendolyn's thirst for two boys who she barely knows (and her constant description of how their undoubtedly unwashed bodies smell good to her) was distracting. Of course she's a Special Snowflake who can save the world with the power of her lust for that d. It reads like a cheesy paperback romance novel without the payoff of a sex scene - there's a little kissing but it's so wrapped up in flowery metaphorical nonsense that it hardly constitutes as anything remotely awakening. There are also some extremely cliche phrasing and physically impossible metaphors (“Every inch of him was wrapped around every inch of me” for example). While you can enjoy the read for a darker take on the Pan legend without straying outside of the YA genre, the writing is just Not Good. It was hard to get through some chapters for all the rolling my eyes were doing.
