4.5 stars because plot line has become somewhat depressing and daunting. They have no choice...if they don't do this, this person will suffer or die...so many things could go wrong...etc etc. I miss the wit, the hilarity, the comedy, the flipping offs. And then there's that ending...AND I DON'T HAVE THE NEXT BOOK. Those are basically the things that pissed me off or just didn't let me LOVE this book like the first one in the series, in a nutshell.
