3.5-ish? I kinda skimmed the book since I had to return it to the library. I remember enjoying the first book a lot, so I was kinda disappointed with this book? Well, the plot was interesting but some of the elements didn't really impress me, haha. For example, Cate says things like that magic can be used for good and bad, and she acts as though that's a super revelation. Perhaps I just want something with a bit more complexity, or maybe I shouldn't have skimmed it.
