Convicted was both as good as I was expecting and not as good. The beginning was a little slow since there was a lot of page count spent going over things we already knew from book 2. Not a lot of new information was brought in. 
 However, when the book got going it really got good! Convicted had some surprising twists, which was in theme with how the whole of the series had been written to date. Aleatha Roming likes to keep you on your toes! 
 In addition, the end was especially satisfying and was well worth reading.
