This book gave me more Warner content, which I loved, but really not much happened. Except that eventually new information, which really felt like it came out of nowhere (which made it feel a little too out there), was revealed that turned everything on its head. Also I'm not terribly sure why we put Juliette in charge with her total experience of none.

Honestly other than the end, this book was a snooze. I'm not sure I could tell you anything that happened that was super significant. I adore Juliette but this entire book was just like a backtrack from the last one. Warner has seemed to evolve so thats cool. I'm hoping the next book is better.
