I'm still processing how I feel about this book. My first thought was it was about 200 pages too long. I wanted to Love it, and I really did enjoy it (stayed up till 2 to finish it), but it didn't live up to ACOMAF for me. It was fun to get to know the other High Lords and see what their personalities are like. I love all of the characters, but I wanted to see more character development of the supporting characters. I guess that might come in the next set in the series? We shall see...maybe my biggest let down is all of the unanswered questions I still have. I want all the answers now! I feel like I'll like this book more the second time I read it...when I'm refreshing for the next book.
