There is no development of the characters this far into the series, very disappointing and will not be finishing the series as I can't stand the lack of growth.
This book makes all the other books I have read seem so much better because of how bad it is. This is so much worse than the second one, and that was not that good
Disappointed with the story of Hester, think more could have been done with her story line. She was starting to become a loving nice person in the first 2 books and then this one just brings her right back down again. Hopefully the next one sheds some light on this
I think I figured out a way to describe these books, and account for why I’m still reading the whole series. Do you have a tv show you put on when you’re really focusing on something else, just to have some background noise because you know you just need about 20% of your attention to understand what’s going on? This series is that show. And it’s not like The Office where you put it on in the background because you could watch while you do *literally* any task as every moment is perfection. It’s because you aren’t missing much by skimming, or doing that thing where your eyes keep reading the words but your brain thinks about Jim and Pam’s wedding episode, and then your thoughts snap back and you’re two pages farther than you last remember reading. You just aren’t missing much, and it serves as an easy distraction.
I will concede there was improvement from the last one, though it felt like instead of a jumpstart to the series it had to build up from scratch again. A lot of the same flaws are continued here, but the general...readability?...of the story is easier. I’m not sure I really care about these characters and where they end up after the next book, but I want to finish it anyway to the credit of the world that's been built.
The summary of these books for me is this: If you just want to turn your brain off and read a story that goes from A to B, this is it. No flash or that little “extra” or lovable characters (especially after this entry), just a story that has some okay moments. And I expect I’ll agree after the last one.
