Ok so the authors need to stop repeating themselves. I've read all of the books. Who just randomly jumps into a series and needs a recap of EVERYTHING?! Yes, I'm busy and can't remember every word of every book I've ever read but this is getting ridiculous. Their going to lose readers if they don't learn to just get on with the freaking story. So, the moral of this one is that your true friends will stand by you even if you piss them off and shut them out. Somehow, the heroine gets her way and saves the day. YAY!
