There was something bugging me about this book almost from the word go. It wasn't until I was nearly finishing it that I realised what it was - pacing. The story telling would switch between the POV of Sonea, Lorkin, Cery and Dannyl, but this would switch three or four times a chapter, and wouldn't necessarily be rotated in the same order each chapter. As the book progressed, these characters storylines in the most part separated out with plots rarely overlapping. Canavan is great at suspense, but because of the structure, the page turning aspect got lost, because the momentum got lost. I've seen a few reviews on here comparing the story was boring, I would definitely disagree with this assumption, the story and plotting was good, but the structure let it down as the momentum was all over the place. It came together by the end, and I really do hope it stays together for the next two books.

a bit slow in the beginning chapters but from around chapter 3, i was hooked. there are a lot of different parts to this story, a love story combined with conspiracy, mystery and suspense. the story contains lots of twists and turns and definitely will keep you hooked. the characters were very easy to connect with and you were able to feel all there emotions. the secondary characters also play important roles within the book which only adds to the story. would definitely recommend but remember to have all the books in the set first.

Had a very captivating story line (0 more)
I have recently been in a reading slump and have had to give up on three books that I just couldn't finish. Until I found Little Bee, the story captivated me from the first chapter. Instead of being told from a generic point of view it is told from two separate people's points of view. Which I loved. The two stories come together very nicely at the end through many ups and downs. Little Bee humbled me with her story and I can't wait to read more by this author.

Couldn't put it down
What an amazing book. It's the first book I've read by this author but it wont be the last. Amazingly written, I just couldn't put it down.
I loved how each chapter was a new day and you really got to see exactly how much could happen in just one day from the point of view from each character.
Kept me guessing and always suspicious. Absolutely brilliant and honestly one of the best books I've read in a while.

I'm slowly working my way through my oldest Kindle books to my newest and this was the first in line.

DNF @ 58%

I stopped at the start of Chapter 13, after reading that first paragraph. How could the author do that? I like happy endings! I want the couple to get together and be happy!?

I wasn't exactly pulled in before then but that bit did me in. I was rooting for Chase and Harper FFS! I was never Team Brandon and I can see where the stories going to go and I'm not impressed, therefore I'm not going to finish it.
