I really enjoyed Wicked, but this book just dragged on and on. I didn't care what happened to Liir at all. I'm not sure I'll finish the series if the next two books are this slow moving with little action.

WELP.
I said I wouldn't read it, but I had it... so I read it.

Am I surprised that I didn't really like it?
No... but I only have myself to blame, I knew it wasn't for me... but I went in anyway
