Many subjects were just brushed over. For example, the sister is plucked out of the home and life she's known for 18 or so years, and nobody bats an eye! Her brother never even sits on a log and thinks "Wow! this is weird", and she never even flinches when everything she has believed about her life is turned upside down. Also, the overall story always felt sketched, but never filled out - I don't mean it needed more words, just some better focus. It was a letdown after all of the praise printed on the cover. Even the action was boring because most of the time it came from nowhere, with no build up.
