This book was ok but not nearly as good as the two before it. If anything, for me, it was just a means to an end. I felt like it was kind of slow in the beginning. There were also some unanswered questions and a few abandoned threads. I'm referring to Adam's court case, Persephone, Gwenthllian's role. I'm hoping most of these things if not all will be resolved/answered in the final book. I'm pretty confident they will but there has been one or 2 things that get dropped (granted I can't remember what they actually are so they can't have been that important but I swear I've said that to myself while reading the other books). 
 Anyway good book. I liked that it was basically a peak inside each one of the characters' heads at one point or another. Once again Ronan takes the cake for my favorite Raven Boy. As harsh and sharp tongued as he is there is a fierce sense of love and loyalty within him. Plus he's also pretty funny. 
 I can't wait to start The Raven King. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
