hyllin 's review for:

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare
3.5
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A little disappointed in this one. It was fine but never really hooked me that much. I was annoying in the beginning with the narration constantly repeating things that happened in the first book. I felt like Lin and Kel both had less character development than the last book. The ragpicker king's crew really fell flat for me this book too. There's so much stuff that I think was done to make them likeable that just makes me think they would be really bad at their jobs. They feel like they would be way more at home in a YA.
