I would say this is more 3 1/2 stars but I decided to round up this time. I found the premise of the story about the grim reaper to be very interesting. I liked how there are different territories and clans that make up the soul guides and I really enjoyed Adam as the main character. I really didn't like how in the dark poor Adam was, which also made me the reader in the dark. I feel like if his dad or the principal at the boarding school had given at least a little more in depth explanation as to why he was there would have made things way less confusing. Even now after finishing the book I'm still confused on some things but maybe that's how the authors wanted it, to make people more interested in reading the next book. As long as the wait isn't forever I'll probably continue with the series.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Akashic Books! ( )
