This is only my second DNF book, but I've been forcing myself to read this over the past hour. I thought I was intrigued enough to continue this series after I thought book one was pretty middle of the road average. I was wrong in my intrigue, and I couldn't muster the the intrigue. From the first chapter, I was like oh boy this isn't going well for me. I've learned not to force myself to finish a book I'm not enjoying. It's unfortunate because I have up to book 4 on my shelf. Looks like they'll all be going to one of my local used book stores or thrift stores.
