I tried so hard to finish this, but I just couldn't. I was incredibly bored and confused the majority of the time. I felt like the plot wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't particularly attached to any of the characters. I'm so sad to be writing this because the first book of this trilogy was amazing. It just went downhill from there. I still think people should give this trilogy a try, as I'm definitely in the minority here.
