Ugh. Of course she ended the book with a simile... Just like the other two books, I liked this story, but really did not like the writing. I found myself getting incredibly irritated by all of the smilies and descriptor text. For every one simile of something that I thought, "Oh! That was good writing" there were 10 bad ones, many of them seemed to be repeating themselves. In the end, this series was totally worth reading, and I'm glad I did. But I wouldn't recommend it. I just felt that I was "pushing through" far too often.
