Mom had to stop reading aloud due to laryngitis. Dad finished reading the book for us and liked it as much as we did.

When Liz read this, she rated it 5*. Catherine grew tired of this trilogy, so though she loved the first book, at the end of this one, her rating was only 3*. She said the books felt repetitive.
