3.5, I guess.I really needed more recaps in this books! I didn't remember enough of the first book and had trouble keeping track of even everything in this book. I felt like a lot of stuff kept changing and . . . I just didn't follow it all.I think I also needed more time to just stop and breathe and get to know the characters better.Will keep reading, though. At least, for now.

Great series so far, have being unable to put them down.
