Honestly very flat book with even flatter characters.
Not even the "big surprise" characters shown anything surprising.
The book doesn't add anything to the genre and is just a remix of Twilight and City of Bones with a sprinkle of Omar other YA books. But the worst parts of each.
The book reads surprisingly slow most of the times and parts and the parts that should have taken longer (e.g. character growth, bond between characters and even the book ending) happen stupidly fast.

Then the very last paragraph is supposed to give some sort of unexpected surprise to get us hooked, but it reads very simple and in the nose.
Can't be bothered to even read a summary of the rest of saga
