OMG SAME! I wanted to much to love it! I read it with my book club, and everyone loved it except for me. I was so frustrated!

I will say that some of the writing was absolutely incredible. The author really paints such intricate, beautiful pictures of the characters, the magic, and even the scenery.

But, yeah, no thanks. There were too many unanswered questions, characters making choices that didn't make sense, and I really felt the ending was anticlimactic.
