Vengeful

It felt like I had to read through the first 400 pages of prologue just to read the actual story in the last 75 pages. If you're in love with the diction the author writes with, or the characters the first novel introduced, then this might be a worthwhile read for you. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up another novel which can tell a story just as riveting in a far more concise format.

I'm still sticking with three stars out of five because the ending cohesion was well written and satisfying, albeit long overdue with the dullness of the first three acts. I believe you could comfortably read the first 50 pages, skip to the Fourth and final section of the book, start reading, and miss almost nothing.
