It took me so long to get into this book. I would say it took about 50% of the book to finally get me interested in the story. It seemed to just move really slow for my tastes. This book did take me through all the emotions: hate, anger, love, frustration, sadness, etc. I do like how the book ended on a good “cliffhanger” where it wasn’t groundbreaking like “wtf happens next” but more intrigued about what happens in the next book. I’m not angry that I can’t read the next book right after this one.
