I think so far in the series this is my least favourite of the books. I loved all the other ones but I felt like there was a hundred page lag in the middle where it could have been sped up. I also felt like the flashes to Manon and sometimes Choal were unnecessary with very little new information being added to the story or character development. I definitely do not think this was a bad book but I do think it was a weaker one in the series. I also would like to note that I think this was an important book for the character development of celena and will serve as a foundation for her future personality moving forwards.
