I wanted to give this book more stars but I couldn't because honestly it doesn't really feel like a "book". It feels more like an episode. It is such a shame because I LOVED the first one and I was hoping for something similar here but was disappointed.(Truthfully I was hoping the same for the last three books of the series but my hopes have been for naught) There could have been sooooooooo much more done with the story elements presented for Jek's and Bryn's story, while still giving clues to the inter-arching storyline the author has created that has spanned over the course of the series. That she didn't take the opportunity to write more scenes, to just give more like she did in the first book, is a real disservice to the worlds and characters she has created. Really quite shameful.
