Okay, so I finally finished this book! The reason my rating is so low is because it didn't pick up until page 300. Seriously! Here, let me sum up 300 of the 500 pages for you: "I'm trapped in a tower making monsters. Can I trust the White Wolf?" "I'm with my brother and sister, flying around pretending to kill chimera." "I'm a fawn centaur. What is the point of my random character? You won't find out in this book!" There were so many elements that were introduced for a couple pages and then forgotten. It moved sooooo slowly. The best parts of the book were, again, Karou's friends Zuzana and Mik. I'll still read book three when it comes out, but for the love of Betsy, please keep it moving. Today I vow that if it doesn't get moving after the first 150 pages, I'm dumping it. Sorry Laini Taylor.
