I truthfully don't know how I feel about this book! Throughout most of it I was just waiting to find out what the hell was going on. It definitely wasn't action packed. The last 250 pages I was just thinking "please let her freaking birthday come already". Oh man, when it finally came it was great! The ending had me feeling like it just might have been worth it to muddle through the rest of the book. So of course I will add the next book to my to-read list with hopes that it will be a little more exciting since we got a good feel for the characters in this installment.
