This is probably one of my least favorites in this series. I usually rate them about a 4, tho 2 have rated a 5. This one just seemed slow to me. I know many people are put off by this series and I can see why Theodosia, Drayton (ESPECIALLY Drayton!) and Haley wouldn't be to everyone's liking. Theo wore on me a bit in this one. If you like this series you'll want to read this one, too, but if you don't care for it that much this is a good to pass.
