I found reading this entertaining, but it has completely filled my desire to read any more of this genre for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure why I got an itch to read some YA this summer, but this series rolled in like winter's chill wind. It wasn't bad, and I liked it as much as I like anything that is mildly intriguing, but I've had my fill. At the end of the day, I'd say it's better than some. It has characters, drama, and an ending. I feel there is no need to elaborate.
