Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really want to like this book but I just don't. Dare I say it's deathly boring in parts and strangely repetitive in others -- for example, we get it, Sasha was weak but now she's not. The plot and characters feel like a hodgepodge of all the other plots/ characters in previous novels. I was unamused by the character development of Riley. Really?! All I'll say is that a basic tenet of these books is that the cards are on the table from the beginning. It's difficult to suspend belief when information just comes out of nowhere in the middle of the book. I did like Annika but am just not sure I'm going to be able to get there when all is revealed. Sigh, I still haven't finished the book but I will just as I'll buy book two of the trilogy because I am at heart a Nora fan looking for some of the magic from the Irish trilogy.
