This book was so much better than the 2nd book. I was able to read this in a little under a month. The stories behind the book and the character development are very well done.

I was stunned by what went on a little past the middle of the book and how he killed off one of the main characters. I thought something like that would happen, but not in the middle.

This book is very well done, and I don’t know what he could have done to make it more interesting.
