I just wasn't a fan of the way that the story was written. The author did a great job with the character development of the main characters, but the side characters in the story either got too much light or not enough in my opinion, and he left some of the endings untold. What happened to Zoe? What happened to Delilah?
We saw Victor going to meet her but we didn't see him actually get to her.
 WHAT HAPPENED TO RUFUS? I understand that Rufus' end was "clear" but in my opinion, the author just took the easy way out, and abruptly ended the story right there.
