The biggest issue with these books is that each one starts assuming you have not read the previous book. You get at least one chapter dedicated to re-capping the-story-so-far.
On top of that, in the first two books April (the Mom of the group) is the more intriguing character of the four but this book, the first from her POV, reduces her to a boy-crazed pseduo-nymph almost. It's very strange and disappointing.
To it's credit, it does EVENTUALLY get to a "hero moment" for her (as the other entries have for their respective POV character) and has one of the more dramatic third acts thus far as well.
But the first half is a real slog to get through.
