This was by far the best of the three so far for me. A lot more depth to the story and less cliche. I have a feeling this is one of those series I'll love by the end and then reread and feel very different about the early books. My issue is that it's giving generic TOG characters and plots. The story is a little chaotic and drags at parts then rushes at others. There were also many parts (mostly dialogue) that I struggled to follow. Looking past all of that, the story is engaging and I'm invested.
