While I love this realm and the overall storyline that this book is taking, I have to say I found this installment to be quite tedious and repetitive. Sahira and friends spent most of the book (all of the book) trekking across wide open spaces, without a hope or a plan, being attacked by random creatures every so often. 

I love Sahira and I love Orin. I love their banter and their relationship and watching them fall more and more in love but refusing to accept it. But, it doesn't go further than that in this book unfortunately. 

The supporting characters in this part of the series are lacking, they're all pretty bland and hollow. No one really has too much personality, they're all just along for the ride hanging out in the background. 

I love the trapped in the realm idea of this one, but there was no real plot here, and so this one didn't hit like the last.
