The book is very slow at first, much like the first book. But it picks up about half way. There's a couple of really well done story twists and chapter closings however I personally find the past tense 1st person perspective lacking. I think i may prefered the series more if the main character was less of a Mary Sue and some level of personality beyond being edgy.
