This had been something I'd wanted to read for a while but had put off for one reason or another. After locating a copy at a used book store, I finally hunkered down to read it. 
 My first thought was that I liked how well the artwork fit the characters. It's a little "simplistic", but one of the things I loved about the previous books was how Stolarz had created a world that was complicated yet simple. 
 My second thought was that this was a pretty boring book when you hold it up to the previous novels. I liked the storyline well enough as well as the idea of a rival setting her hat for Jacob, but this just seemed to really drag itself out. I really felt like this could have been told better than it was. 
 I recommend checking this out via the library. This is fun enough & the ending was sweet, but it just isn't something I'd really read again. I ended up giving my copy away to a friend who was just starting on the series.
