I think this is the longest I've ever taken to read a book! I'm terribly disappointed!! Fever Series is one of my favourite series. I love Mac, Barrons ,Mega and Ryodann (and all the other nines and Christian) I love that the characters have depth, the story has depth and mystery and the characters are independent as well as dependent on each other. And honestly, the minute I started reading the glossary at the back to reacquaint myself with the story, I wanted to go back and start re-reading the books from part 1 all over again. I love this series...BUT, this part was nothing like the previous parts. Right up till 40% apprx of the story I was bored out of my mind. There was just pointless rambling and thinking (and I think even the sinsar dubh fell asleep). The main story really started at about 60% in the book. I started getting really interesting and then Bang! 88% and the book is over! Seriously?!?!?! after waiting FOREVER the book comes out and that's all the story we get? the actual story could have fit into a short novella. I love KMM's writing, I love the story but this book was terribly disappointing. I expected a lot more. I loved, LOVED the 20-30% at the end when we finally know more about MEGA in the silvers, and MAC and MEGA start to close their rift but that was just too little after so long! Barrons was there through out the book but even he hardly played any important role. He's still so far from Mac and I hoped they'd get closer (emotionally)!
