I didn't understand the poetry part until the end. It was interesting after finishing the book, but trying to decipher everything from beginning to end made it seem tedious. And I felt like some of the reasons characters did things weren't very strong. Not sure how to explain that without spoilers, and since it's time to go trick or treating, just know that there are questions after you're finished. But also know it's not a bad story at all. Happy Halloween.
