I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Start to finish, I was intrigued by the characters. I think that had I not read the back of the second book before finishing this one, I would have been very surprised with the twist. As I did read ahead, I was kind of weirded out by where the story was going. But I got past that and still enjoyed the book. I am always hesitant to read books in a series because I like each book to have its own story with a start and stop, and if that doesn't happen, there isn't a clear ending to the book, I get frustrated. But this book ended well and with what I assume are minor stories that will continue. I think this is the first book that I've read since I finished Harry Potter, that I feel completely satisfied with the book. It is now among my favorites, I hope the rest of the series continues the same way.
