The beginning of this book was slow and a little boring. It didn't get good until the last 40 pages of the book when you finally have a lot of your questions answered. The characterization is getting a little static too. Most of the characters don't grow or change and just stay the same. Still can't stand Mimi even though she's a huge part of it. Schuyler just seems indecisive and a little childish to play a heroine that needs to make decisions that will affect the while world. Jack is even worse he can't seem to make up his mind and figure out if he wants his sister or Schuyler. Oliver is just a push over and lets everyone get away with too much. Lawrence has lived to long and too set in his ways. Bliss is still the coolest character in the book but her new found plot twist which is not a surprise just throws everything into chaos. The war finally begins again in this book and the shit hits the fan. All-in-all it was ok. The plot was fun ut predictable.
