Query: Disturbing Gothic Mediocrity

I had high hopes for this book... It begins with some beautifully imagery, but jumps right into action before you know the main character at all. I found it difficult to force myself to finish this book. The plot seems to lack direction. I kept waiting for something to happen that wasn't completely predictable. The underlying dark current of the book is disturbing, almost remisniscent of a fantasy version of 'Lord of the Flies', but at a girls boarding school. It definitely wasn't romantic either, unless you consider a teen girls sweaty dreams of a boy touching her breasts romantic. I won't be reading the sequels. I have to say I should have given it a three star rather than a two...but the program won't let me change that.
