I wish I would have gotten into it, because the world is most definitely fascinating, but... *sigh* Many seem to really dislike it though, so I'm glad to see some positive feedback still! Maybe I'll have to try and give it another go some time I have more time to drag myself through that first half.

The idea of inanimate objects as body parts. That would be something different to read about and I'm wondering how the author creates and develops that aspect of the book. The world sounds frightening as well, and it's cool to be scared every now and again. I'll have to keep this one in mind when I'm in the mood for something dark and creepy.

I personally, loke you Mimi was fascinated by the Fusions. They were so dark and perverse. I was amazed at each new revealation. My problem with this book was the multi POV, the ending..it didn't resolve much and the romance, there was no buildup. I am on the fence as to whether I will continue this series. I am glad you gave it a chance though.
