Review: Another twist I didnt see coming.

This is how I know the books in this series are amazing: I hurt inside~yes, physical pain~when something happens that jeopardizes the well~being of the characters. It is almost too uncomfortable to keep reading, but I HAVE to keep reading. If you've ever had this type of reaction to a story in a book, you know what I mean. I can hardly believe that the author has continued the tension between the two main characters through THREE books.The pacing is excrutiating, in a good way. The author has a way of occasionally slowing everything down with an increased level of detail that is vital to the world~building and to the story. Doing so doesn't slow the story down: instead it  builds the suspense to an almost unbearable level. With this kind of control over the words, the author is able to keep the story moving where less accomplished authors would just lose the reader's attention.I am so glad there are several books left in the series because when I am done reading all of them for the first time, I will be sad. So I am pulling every bit of pleasure I can out of reading them, and savoring every minute I am lost in this world. I find myself re~reading certain passages just to experience them a second time. So now I'm going to take a deep breath, go purchase book number 4, and try to wait until tomorrow to start reading it so I can catch up on the sleep I've lost the last several nights since I started reading these books. And oh yeah I didn't see that coming at the end, but I should have. It makes so much sense. I'm glad I only have to wait till tomorrow to see what happens next, unlike the early readers of this book who no doubt had to wait months and months for the release of the next book.
