Such a disappointment. When I first read [b:Masque of the Red Death|12924275|Masque of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death, #1)|Bethany Griffin|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1341716702s/12924275.jpg|15605716] last year I really liked it. It was incredibly atmospheric and the plague-ridden world was depressing and I was very much immersed in the story. It was everything this book was not, except for depressing. I don't know what happened but after 100 pages, barely anything was happening and the I felt that the characters were just going around in circles. Araby was so wishy-washy throughout the book and along with the rest of the cast, their characters just fell flat. :/And I really don't get the whole motive behind Prospero and Malcontent's actions. WTF were they trying to accomplish??---------------------------10/10 updateDAT COVER!!! O.O---------------------------2013 has never been so far away.Excuse me while I go build a time machine.
