I was surprised how little tired book suffered from middle book syndrome. The main plot of the bookwas a little weaker than the overall arc of the trilogy, but that didn't matter to me that much. I must admit when the bullying started I felt the bullying tactics didn't match with the age of the perpetrators, but she got it right by the end. I have read other reviewers complaining that the strong character Sonea showed in the first book disappeared in this one, but I think this is unfair. In the first book she was in a territory she understood and had confidence because of that understanding. In this book, she is in a world foreign to get upbringing where society is set against her and it's acting out is prejudices onto her, of course her confidence is going to take a hit! I felt the spark of defiance still shone within her, even if it wasn't as forthright as it one was. I'm guessing this will return on the list installment.
