plot is a little blurred at times. The book is okay in my opinion but I think it will be great
for people who like to read about fantasy.

she even exists. She has a poisonous touch that will kill anything that she touches. She

Rating: 4 My rating for this book is a 4 because the book is bland in my opinion and does not have intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest for the most part and I think that is mostly because of the sci-fi aspect of the book.
