Not a fan of constantly jumping between so many characters. It'd be fine if it were just the main two I'm actually interested in. But now we're in the perspective of some random high school girl, and I just can't care. It feels like such a detour from the characters are want to hear from and hurts the book.

The nature descriptions are the best thing about the book, and all around it's pretty good. Only I think it's pretty empty at the moment. I don't think there's enough going on to justify its length or pace. And the story itself is pretty tame, especially if you compare it to his other works. I just hope things pick up.
