I don't know what it was, but this took me a lot longer than normal to finish. It just felt dull, and I had no desire to read it with how repetitive it felt. 

This is definitely the darkest of the 4 books, but was one of the least interesting. The last 100 pages has most of the action, and the rest is basically just people living their lives in a Fort. It did feel nice to see/learn more about the side-characters, but it also felt a bit "too little too late". 

Kel was the same as she's been in all of the books. She really never changes, nor has any difficulty accomplishing anything. The final climax of the book was about 2 pages, and that was it. Even the MC commented on how it wasn't what she expected.

And so ends another quartet! Kel and her friends are fantastic. Parts of this book dragged for me, but overall, it was a good ending to Kel's story.
