I got so tired of reading Marie's lines... I know she's a kid and expected to talk like that at her age, but good lord the author just doesn't stop. I guess some may find it cute, but this volume is unbearable with it. Even though the first volume didn't have a lot of depth, this one has none. There is no real build up to anything. I already own the 3rd volume for Kindle, so I will read it at some point I guess.... but not really looking forward to it.
