I couldn’t get into this one. I read this series in chronological order and after the first 3 (4 if you include Survivor) books, this one was a little boring for me. This is Octavia’s first published novel and it shows. Although it’s not bad, it’s my least favorite in the series. Had I started with this one first, I probably wouldn’t have continued.
