Slow read that picks up halfway through. Lots of fluff, especially at the start. The last third really picked up the pace and was a better read. 

"The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit" was a hint of how bad the early parts of the book would be. 

I will still read the next book, because my wife adores the series from reading it a decade earlier.
