I don’t understand how anyone got through this book. It is entirely set up for the series but there is no plot, no character development, nothing happens!! It’s all set up! I only finished it because it was an audiobook. I put it on when cooking or cleaning and didn’t have to worry about missing anything if I let the room because nothing happened! Not to mention, every single female character is called a b*tch and a whore. Not or, and! Except for one girl who is there to be looked at, she’s called both and she’s not like other girls! (Vomit). It was a boring book where nothing happens and the characters just do what other people tell them to with no wants or desires of their own. Would not recommend.
