My problem with this book is essentially the same as my problem with previous books. There are so many POV characters stuffed into this book that in the end you only get so many pages of each. There are at least 6 MAIN POVs in the book. When I say main I mainly mean that as groups of people, so if 2 POV characters are together I didn't really count them. So at least 6 of them in a 280 page book. There are only so many pages to go around. This left me reading about some characters I didn't like a lot and wishing I could read more about those I did like. Then there are the characters that are generally useless to the story at this point.There are 3 more book to this series and my first thought is to buy the rest as I am so far into it but then I just don't feel it is that strong of the story. It is being pulled into so many different paths that I found it frustrating to read at times. If you liked the previous books you will probably like this one. There is some advancement on several of the plotlines but the problem I wrote about above limit how far they actually go.
