The main plot made me curious, it was unique and interesting. At first sight I thought, this book has a really good potential. But sadly it just could not deliver it for me. I felt the characters stereotypical and their relationships to each other were also quite predictable. As I said, even that I really liked the main story idea of The Society Of Wishes, but the more and more further I got in the book, it just became bland and boring, also a little slow.

Shortly, Elise Kova's Society of Wishes' basic concept is very interesting for me and unique, but the book itself just could not became that good. The characters are stereorypical and the story is slow and became boring after a time. There are surely people, who will love Society Of Wishes, but I lost interest in it after reading it once.
