Despite being about stopping the apocalypse, this book had no sense of urgency. The Obsidians didn't seem to be in any hurry to do anything except sit in their tower and wait for... something? Nothing? Unclear. And Teo, Niya, and Aurelio didn't feel like they were hurrying towards their end goal. They were making their way through Reino del Sol at a leisurely pace and stopping in tons of little towns to help people. 
I did still enjoy spending time with these characters, but as a story I needed things to happen a little faster.
