Not great, not terrible. I like the idea, except that there was no mystery and no compelling cliffhanger. If I never read the rest of the series, I won't lose sleep and that is a huge deal for me with books in this genre.

The writing was OK. There were some problems with tense I think and the flashbacks were awkwardly placed and didn't really add all that much to the story. I'm not sure I care enough about Rhine to read any more books. The most sympathetic character, I think, was Linden and I was getting pretty frustrated with the way the girls treated him.

Strange book.
