Not much happens in this book, or rather the main action centers around something that all the characters know is going to happen and then it's just a matter of waiting for it to happen.  Despite knowing that it's going to happen, I feel like they did little to actually manage the situation.  A promised "huge fight" is handled mostly off screen and doesn't actually seem to have any effect.   The gender stereotyping is getting a little tiresome- that the women handle the food and have to be their own "pack" and the males are clueless. 

And spending time in Cyrus' head was disgusting.  Also the sexual abuse of a child was really unnecessary.
