Personally I neither loved nor hated it. It was simply interesting to go through.
I think my largest criticism of this book is that it doesn't have great re-read value. It's the sort of thing that once you have read it, it's going to stick in your mind while going through the remainder of the books. And if it doesn't have great re-read value, then I look at it as an almost unnecessary book within the quartet when going through the series another time. It was good to read this once but I'm not sure how often I'll return to it.

Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Cannibalism, Grief, Alcohol, Death of parent, Incest, Child abuse, Child death, Classism, Fire/Fire injury, Gore, and Hate crime
