I think this carried on from the first book in the series pretty well. It had a nice and steady pace and I had difficulty putting it down.
There were however some problems with it. First it's predictability. I think this one is far more predictable then the first it is also cheesier and has just a bit too much of a romantic element for me but then again I don't read for romance and I don't like girly reads so for someone who might like a bit of a lovie dovie touch to their fantasy this could very well be for you. I myself don't appreciate so many characters being paired up.
There was also the banter between certain characters which after awhile became a bit tedious and wore on my nerves. I wonder how much of it was really necessary.
Another thing is the mistakes. The grammatical and spelling errors are just ridiculous. Like the first book I wonder who edited this one and how they got their job.
As long as I don't dwell on the errors or any problems with it I still am enjoying the trilogy enough to want to read more. I guess that says something.
8/10
