Comments:
I don't know what I was thinking when I picked this up, despite the comment from my coworker. It dark and gritty and horrifying. Highly intense and emotional. I wanted nothing more than to rush through the end (as in, I read it all in one morning before going to work that afternoon) and see if there was a successful escape from this place - only to find that there isn't a proper ending! I'm sorry for the spoiler but this is a major cliffhanger. I came into work in a tizzy, this book and all the possible outcomes swirling in my mind, and scolded the coworker who had suggested it for not warning me! For suggesting a book without an end! It appears she hadn't fully read it herself yet, and she says calmly, "Well it's part of a 5 book series." That would have been good to know in advance, and even then I don't expect cliffhangers!
Overall this is an emotionally gripping / riveting book, but I recommend reading it only if you have the next book on hand and time to read it. I have the second book checked out now, but I'm worried it will end in a similar manner, so I've been delaying reading it.
