I enjoyed this installment of the #1LDA books. There were some interesting plots, but it seemed a little to me like a means to getting somewhere else later in the series. I realize that's true of all books in a series--but some are more stories, while the others are more set-up for later books. This one felt more like the latter. And, because of some of the story lines (and maybe because *I* was tired when reading it), I really felt the exhaustion of the characters in this one. But, I've already downloaded the next book!
