This is probably the oddest rating I've ever given. This wasn't anything exceptionally good. So why am I giving it four stars? Because I literally only ever heard bad things about this, and when I finally got around to reading it, it wasn't nearly as bad as it was made out to be. There were certain things that annoyed me. For example, the whole inner goddess thing was obnoxious and annoying. The writing was somewhat repetitive, and really not that great. But like I said, I had such low expectations for this that I'm actually kind of amazed at how not-so-bad it was. So surprisingly enough, I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
