4.75

Plot = 1 ( these books are a roller coaster. You go from everyday life to sudden and scary events that you think are random. Then you realize that the train has been heading your way the whole time but you were lulled into a feeling of safety.)

Characters = 1 (Hilo, Anden, and Shae are the most human characters I can think of.)

Promise = 1 (At first I was scared but somehow the story came full circle.)

Engagement = .75 (the beginning, like the other two books, was a little slow, but once the pieces were laid out I just had to see where they got placed.)

Efficiency = 1 (How could I want more after 700 pages???!!!. I'm usually the guy who says please condense and cut but I want more!!! But I also don't want Fonda Lee to stab my heart anymore so...nevermind.) 

Overall 4.75/5
