3.5

Second time reading this book, and it's as mediocre as I remember. Still okay, but it rides on the  coattails of the previous two. I just can't make myself care much for Locke x Sabetha's forbidden, doomed romance. And the book loses momentum halfway through, and then just... keeps dragging on. 

And I'm very tired of male writers using (the threat of) rape as a plotpusher. 

If this is your first time reading the series, read it. If it's your second time, my recommendation is to stop after Red Sails.
