A nice addition to the series. After the original, it is a nice softer look at more of the world. However it doesn't have the same impact as the first trilogy.

Honestly? It was a beautiful book but I rated it four stars...because to be honest. It was confusing at first, then I understood the plot. I haven't read it in a while but it's a good book definitely.
