I feel like I say this for every book by this author, but the beginning was a little slow, but the ending really ramped up leading the star rating. I enjoyed the characters introduced in this one and the further backstory we got from other characters. As always, SJM completely flips the characterization of her characters in the second book, which would have annoyed me if I didn't know it was coming. I admit that I rolled my eyes at some of the lines and scenes in this book, but overall it was an entertaining read.
