Not up to par with the other books. I was kind of bored with this one. I kept expecting something exciting to happen, and it never did. I kind of had a feeling about who the bad guys were, so it wasn't surprising to me. I think this was more so just to wrap up the cliffhanger from the last book so the author could move on to the last one. I'm excited to read it still, but not because this book left me with the feeling of wanting more.
