4.5 STARS

I will love my sweet Will forever. KS did a fantastic job with the present/past storyline. Despite the length, I wanted even more. Since starting this series forever ago, and reading Will's book first, I confess to never liking Jeffrey. This book validated my feelings. I can't wait for the next book.

Some of the passages are reminiscent of the worst parts of the LotR series and Hobbit books in that she just went on and on. I’m also sick of the “made her purr like a cat” cringe lines. Yuck.
