I continue to be roped into reading this series because the first 100 pages are fantastic (leading off the prior cliffhanger) and the last 100 pages are fantastic (leading to the next inevitable cliffhanger. BUT THE 600 PAGES IN BETWEEN? My god. Repetitive and boring and took me nearly a month to drag myself through. But once it gets good it gets GOOD. Just, like, cut down the muddy nonsense in the middle by 70% and I promise you this book would be so much better. Same with the prior novels as well and, I can only assume, the next one. Which I will unfortunately be forced to read because, while I could state a million and one critiques about the writing here, she sure can write one hell of a cliffhanger and I am one hell of a sucker.
