This installment of the series was okay. I've not hated this series, but I can't say I've been a fan of it either. There are portions of this book that are two stars and some flashes that are four stars, so I've averaged it out. My biggest love of this series is Mafi's depth of emotional description. My biggest complaint is the pacing and plot. The pacing of certain tensions in the plot seem convenient and not thought out beforehand. I felt like nothing really happened in this book until the last few pages.
