The blurb of this book promised so much but sadly it fell quite a bit short of my expectations. On Amazon out of 22 reviews 19 rated it a 5* so I thought I was in for a real treat. Whilst the plot of the story was good it was still quite main stream and unoriginal so the book was always going to need outstanding characterization and scene setting, neither of which occurred. The book was too short to pull off the amount of stuff that was crammed into it, lots of characters barely described even when they are supposed to be pulling off a heart felt role, the two main characters Silver and Butterfly's relationship didn't feel very realistic or evoke any sort of emotion really. I also had trouble imagining Neo, I still have no idea what the 'skylungs' where supposed to look like? Its an ok read, easy to get through, nothing needs to be particularly thought about but others seem to disagree and really enjoyed it so it may just be that I set my expectations too high. ( )
