I'm just not feeling this series... Ya feel me? No. I can't put a finger on why, but it wasn't without difficulty to finish the book. I will read the next book hoping to determine my issue. It will be a long while before I read Envy unless someone screams that it was excellent. 
 The WARDen is still one of my favorite authors. BDB isn't on the list of my favorites because it has no equal. It is off the chain... true?
