I forgot how dark the middle of this book gets. The beginning is way too slow and expository, but she really hits the ground running ~80 pages in and by the end she was writing a truly phenomenal book. I would love to see Shannon Hale write something as dark as she hints she can go, it would be quite spectacular. My one wish to make this book perfect was a less introductory intro, longer time spent developing the war, more intense action, and more Finn. Never enough Finn.
