Until the 30% mark I was dragging myself through this which to be fair happened with Eragon as well. I honestly thought I was going to end up in a reading slump from it. Well, my interest dwindled somewhere between the 40-45% mark. This definitely suffers from middle book syndrome. Gained interest again sometime between the 70-80% mark. I honestly can’t rate this any higher  because of how much of a struggle it was to get me to care to even continue this.
