It took me to about 40% to really start to enjoy reading this book. But once I got acquainted with the characters, and stopped trying to figure out who is "good" or "bad" and realized they might all be a mix, the book really picked up!
I read the first book to appease my husband, but I will continue to read the trilogy because I want to know what happens to each of the characters! I think I'm honestly interested in finding out what happens in each of the storylines!
