More like 3.5 stars (the more I think about it, the more 1/2 stars I take off). I really enjoyed this book. I like the characters and getting to know more about this world. But I feel that the book left you in the same place the Clockwork Angel did. The only thing that made real progress was you learn a ton about Will and why he is the way he is, and you see this love triangle (that has no business being a triangle) just get convoluted while you shake you head and ask why. Yea, stars slipping the more I think about it. This book was obviously filler for whatever happens in the 3rd on so I hope the last book brings it because this right here was alright but disappointing.
