i feel like the pacing felt better in this book rather than the previous one. still, i find the characters i could not root for. i found the love triangle set up between james, cordelia and matthew rather odd and forced; i felt like cordelia and matthew were better suited as friends given their past dynamic, and the whole bracelet schtick between grace and james annoyed the heck out of me. at this point i feel like the plot is a bit convoluted from the large amount of characters involved in the book, as well as their respective problems, that i wonder how cassie would wrap up the series through chain of thorns. however due to the lack of characters i could root for, i'm still debating whether i should drop this series altogether or push through.
