I have so many things to say. I don't know where to start, or if I'll be able to address them all at this time so just ignore my review if it seems a little all over the place. I have yet to completely gather my thoughts.

I definitely liked this the least out of the series so far. And yet I enjoyed it so much. I cannot wait to read the conclusion.
