2.5. I really liked a lot of the plot elements, but the writing wasn't for me. I read online summaries of the other books after I finished this.

Not quite for me

Maybe 2.75

These books have lots of imperfections, but I still like the constant, page turning action.

3.5, maybe? Difficult to decide how I felt about this overall. It was sometimes slow & I put it down twice, but it was also often heartache-y and moving and beautiful.

Hard to decide rating. It was interesting but slow in parts. 2.5

Loved the natural feel of the writing.

The last third of the book moved it from 3 stars to 4.
