I really don't think I could finish this book after the 50 pages of emotional angst that really could have been summed up in three or 5. It takes about 150 pages for the plot to get going and, even though I was at that point, I really don't think I have the patience for another ~400 pages of a series that I think really fizzled out in the previous installment. Carry On was a great read, but I think these follow ups really have a problem in dragging things out to the nth degree. Sorry no satisfying conclusion for me.
