Honestly, I wanted to like this book as it has been recommended several times. But getting through this story was honestly like pulling teeth for me. I don't think I was really interested in it until about 70% of the way through. I am somewhat curious about what happens next, but I think maybe I will just Google it. I don't think I can sit through the rest of the series and I am immensely saddened by that. If you read this book, I hope you enjoy it more than I did. Good luck.
