Galley: Yes
Recommend: No
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect is that it is about a girl who has the power to heal people, and that the author creates a history for that power.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was very disappointed with the end of the book because it stops very abruptly, in the middle of a scene, and I think that that is really bad writing.
Comments: If you get really frustrated when authors stop books before the story is done, like they are forcing you to buy the sequel when it comes out to find out what happened, do NOT read this book. Its engaging while you read it, and it’s a good story, but if that really, really bugs you, don't even start the book.
Cover: The cover did intrigue me into picking up the book. However, I don't think it really reflected on the contents.
Did you finish: Yes
