Yes I do not give this one five stars - does not mean it is bad, though. Naturally, being a middle portion of a story, this book contains most of the "frustration" stage of the entire series and when this boom ends, the frustration has yet to be resolved. This book focuses more on Elena, and we see her experiencing some regression / "reverse development" and doing some stupid stuff - which really isn't a flaw of narrative - we all go back to our bad habits sometimes too.. I'm liking the unpredictable storyline of the series and I'm excited to see how the final book will wrap things up.
