Okay, so I will say first off that I did not love this book but I didn't hate it either. I think it was well written and the story was well thought out and fast paced. It held my attention and I finished it quickly. If I hadn't have been so frustrated and plain old mad at Dancia during the last half of the book it would have gotten a 4, maybe. Possibly 3&3/4. I am 100% a Jack fan, and I got so frustrated with how he was treated I just can't get past it. So, to keep this review spoiler free, I will leave it with this...... If someone me if they should give the book a shot, I would tell them to go ahead. I think it has the potential for a great sequel. I just get too emotionally involved with certain characters in books and it can sway me on my star giving. There you have it.
