The first, what, 5/6 of this book, everything was kinda just floating around with no real plot to tie it all together, but then. THAT BIG FINAL SCENE. i can't BELIEVE. (view spoiler)[ and FRICKIN SEBASTIAN had to just BECOME ALIVE AGAIN. ugh. (hide spoiler)]even though most of this book was pretty meh, it gave us a more in-depth look at characters and there was some world building. but it was a great setup for a sequel, so !!!!!!!!!!!!!
