I forced myself through this book only because I'd already bought the 3rd in the trilogy. 
The last 50ish pages have some decent action, the rest is magical people talking to and avoiding each other. It was so dull. I think it's trying to be super deep and mystical but all of that went over my head. 
I'll read the 3rd because I've got it but not for a long time!!
