Honestly? Underwhelming. This book spent so much time running back and forth. The characters always win, despite the odds. Random human willingly sacrifice themselves for the Lorien teens. By the time something *actually happened*, the book ended. It was a lot of slow build-up for little reward. When I was the intended age for the Lorien Legacies, I think I would have gobbled these up. As an adult, they're slow and unrealistic. A lot of YA is really good and accessible for many ages. This is nothing special.
