I don't think that I'm going to last until the final book. I thought that this series most redeeming quality was the Tarot aspect. 
 Yeah no. I'm not going to be surprised if the momentum I initially had to finish this series is extinguished soon. I'm intrigued by Death, but that's about it. I almost DNF'd this book at about 70%. It's slower than the first, and to be honest...a majority of it revolves around a select few characters and the building relationship between them. 
 I'm 150% over Jackson as a character, and Evie's clear reliance on the attractive men in her life is honestly starting to bother me. We hear whispers of the Empress in her head, but that badassery that supposedly goes hand in hand with the Empress is almost always stifled by Evie's lack of desire to be a part of the game or whenever she doesn't want Jackson to freak out. 
 That cliffhanger got me though, so I think book three is in my future.
