Holy middle book syndrome! I’m not rating this because I’m too disappointed to rate it fairly. It’s not BAD it’s just not as good as the first book had led me to hope it would be. I LOVED the first book and… I don’t know. The magic isn’t there with this one. The characters are just moving around and coping with the fall out from events in the first book. Not a lot actually happens. I hope the final book picks back up again, but for now I don’t think I’ll be encouraging people to pick this one up unless they’re dying to find out the consequences of the first book’s ending.
