Status Updates From Song of Simon

I have really enjoyed this book so! I have already read one book by this author so far, and he is very good at description as well as fleshing out his main characters, Simon, especially. There are a lot of characters, so I wish he had stuck with Simon's perspective and one other. The parallel world (or is it alternate world) he created here is very fascinating. I wish I had more time to finish this all in a day.

I'm obsessed..

It took until almost the halfway point of this book for it to actually become interesting and engaging to me. I still am not sure that any of the characters are one that I like or dislike even at this point. It does need some wow factor or moment sooner than halfway, however. Even Simon being transported to another world just didn't cut it as that reader grabbing moment for me.

I usually like high fantasy but I am having a hard time getting into this book. I think I am,starting to like ans relate to a certain character and then something happens to change that in the story.
