Finally finished this. I liked it better than Messenger, but I still probably won't ever read any of the books in this series again, except for The Giver.
It was fine, but it just. took. so. long. for. anything. to. happen. It's really repetitive, and when my husband would get to the end of the chapter (we were reading it out loud together) he'd ask if I wanted him to stop or keep going, and I always picked stop, because it was exhausting to wade through all the old repeated information to get to a tiny scrap of new information. Reading it felt like trying to walk through a waste-high swimming pool.
But the story wasn't bad though. I did like how everything tied back together with all of the previous books. I was expected a cliff-hanger, wide-open ending by this point, so that did really bother me this go around. But she better go back and marry Einor, that's all I have to say about that.
