this was so underwhelming that I took months to get through it. The plot seemed all over the place and not a stringent continuation of the first book. The world-building is interesting, but the books are so short, everything from characters to countries seems superficial. I was so bored that I missed plot points (not that it mattered) even though the story is meant to be action-driven ...

Not as fun as the predecessors and the ending was very very annoying.

The ending to this was a huge disappointment. This was the weakest in the trilogy.

Not the ending I was hoping for but good. Not amazing but good. Over all I felt pretty good about the series but not...I don't know. I had high hopes and it just fell short of those hopes.

So my major questions were answered and nothing's really nagging at me now. Yay! But it was a frustrating read because I kept getting hints of how it could be better. Sometimes Meyer would take the story in a direction I didn't expect, and I was happy to be surprised. However, the book is plagued with head-hopping, telling instead of showing, elements that were included maybe more because they were nifty than because they were essential, and a host of flat characters.

Still, I was impressed that Meyer killed Serafin off, and I did like the absolute end, when Merle and Junipa went off on new adventures together.
