I more or less like how the series has developed and will probably buy the next book.  I thought the flow of the story was good.  It never really dragged.  Perhaps a little in the beginning but it generally moved on before things got boring.What really killed the book for me was the end.  It was absolutely terrible.  Plus the foreshadowing with the bad guy is really obvious.  Like you just know Mack is going to do something stupid and work right into what you think will happen.  I have to say again.  The ending is so terrible.  Not worst of all time but it's in the discussion.  Things that have been building for 4 books just get thrown out in the blink of an eye for no reason that's any good.  If your looking for any romance you don't want to buy this book.  There was also a lot of uncharacteristic actions in this book.Minor Spoiler AlertEarly Max gets a translated copy of the Franco wyr book.  It's been so important and she wanted to read it so badly that she pretty much doesn't read any of it til the very end and it just screws her over.  It's like the author purposely goes out to ruin everything the last 4 books set up.  For no reason at all.  Nothing gets resolved in this book.  Max doesn't shift, barely uses green fire, and gets her butt kicked.  There is very little action in this book.One thing that annoyed me was that Max had no purpose.  She didn't fit in the world.  Well she has a purpose but you end up hating all the other races.  They are nothing more than whiney selfish (expletive).  At the end of this book I want her to just leave the Fae and the Mages to fend for themselves.  If the author wanted me to hate most of the other important characters, job accomplished.
