It had some good ideas and though some of it was predictable the story was still interesting. At times it was also quite cynical, but not depressingly dark. I think one improvement would have been if some of the adults acted more like adults and not just manipulators....more

It didn't have a lot of angst or relationship drama (which I appreciated), but was more like a confirmation of their success as a couple, mixed with world building/rearranging of pieces for the next books. Good stuff....more

But as it progressed, it evolved into a very detailed (and quite mushy) insight into their relationship dynamics with a story on the side. I liked it. I don't think it's Great, but I was entertained, skipped a lot of 'action' and had a nice time reading it. I will most likely pick up the next book if the blurb doesn't sound like it's going to be too heavy on the porn or feels (this one toed the line for me)....more
