This book was good, but it was a little slower moving than I liked. I thought that the resurrection of Carpathia would've taken place a little bit earlier in the book, as well, instead of at the end.

I definitely enjoyed this one more than I have the past few in the series. It was more exciting and fast paced.

I'm really really liking this series. This book did kind of start moving slowly toward the end, however, IMO. I can't wait to get started on the next book.

I didn't like this book quite as much as the other two I've read in the series. It just felt like there was too much going on in this book and that it took forever to get through. It was not a *bad* read, however.
