Truthfully, I don't have much to say about this book. I've really found this entire series to be dragging and while I keep hoping there will be something that hooks me and makes me want to stick around, there isn't. It's really depressing. At the end of every terrible moment, I expect there to be some kind of redemption and there isn't. It just gets worse. I'll be reading the last book to finish out the series, but I can't say I've enjoyed this, which is a huge bummer.
