I was caught off gaurd with how much I enjoyed this book. I previously read the first two chapters and could not stand to finish it. This time around I decided to give it until chapter five before I tossed it and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. I don't find Aria super annoying, least not any more and I feel that Peregrine, Roar and Cinder are well developed characters. I am highly invested in their growth as well as Aria's; a pleasant read.
