My overall opinion of this book is that it's okay. The book tends to be come boring, especially at the end for me and I almost didn't finish it. Besides these certain parts, the book is pretty good.The plot of the book had good intent, but I don't think the author was able to deliver the kind of excitement and thrill that I thought the book would have had. When I first read the summary of the book I thought it would be exciting and really good, and it was good, just not exciting. Also, I thought the beginning of the book was better than the end. I thought personally that the end of the book wasn't that great and, for me, was the worst part of the entire book. The end was basically Cassia thinking of a plan to get to/save Ky, and it wasn't exciting or interesting for me. There were some very good parts though, like when Cassia was hiking and when the officers came to get the artifacts. All in all, the book is a hit or miss i think. I would not recommend this book to people who like exciting. action packed books, but I would recommend it to people who enjoy a more timid book because  it doesn't have much action or thrill.
