Overall, a good read.
I liked the vague start. The reader has no idea what is going on and this really intrigued me.
This is a middle-grade book, so it is relatively simple. As an adult, I was able to figure out all of the twists fairly quickly, but I think the pacing was just right for young readers. The story drags a little bit in the middle, but it is still entertaining.
Great descriptions. I thought it was a very unique and creative story. I really liked the idea of the vines between people. Interesting book.
