It's a 3.5 stars for me, not quite four. I ended up with mixed feelings about it. It started strong and with new characters I got attached to and then, they died. I was so disappointed, that much emotional investment for nothing.

Although I liked the main story, I found myself skipping large portions of endless descriptions too many times. My reading time is valuable and if I find the writing cumbersome and unnecessarily verbose, then a four star is not an accurate rating.

Again, there were so many characters to follow and remember, who was who and from what time in the past or the present. Although I don't have a problem with plots that jump back and forth in time, I do not enjoy tracking who a character is and what roll I have to stick a post it note to on in my head.

I ended up demoting this book from the 5 stars I wanted to give to it to 3.5.

I'm still confused about what happened in the end, where Amy ended up and why was Carter still in the dreams.

I'll read the third book, I don't give up on a series that easily after going through such a cumbersome prior twosome
