I didn't really enjoy this book.  I didn't care for the characters, the choices they made, the way they spoke.  It just didnt do it for me.  Honestly I had to push through it and I kept hoping for it to get better but it never did.

Having said that, the plot worked, the pace was ideal, and the bones of the story were solid.  I didn't like the book, but it wasn't a bad book, just not for me.  

Funny enough it had been ages since I read the other two and all i really remembered was mostly liking the first one and the second being entirely forgettable.  Luckily this book was free.  I find it ironic I own the entire series and have no intention of ever reading these books again.
