I thought I'd like this more. I wanted to! But I think the middle got bogged down by the romance and other things. Once we moved on from that, it moved quite quickly, and by the end, I was thinking that we could have cut a little out of the middle and gotten here sooner. It wasn't a bad book at all, and I liked Zahra, Aladdin and Caspida, but it just... lost something in the middle. Things dragged on a little too long.
