Note: I'm breaking my own rules by reviewing a book that I've not read recently. I read these books as they came out, so there's the possibility my opinions might change were I to read them again today, but I doubt it.

Still holding out hope at this point, but it's fading fast. I'm rapidly starting to hate nearly all the characters as they are proving to be a bunch of arrogant asshats that can't learn from their mistakes. Each and every one of them seems to always insist that they know what's best, despite nearly every one of their decisions so far being bad ones.
