My rating would actually be 3.5. I didn't dislike this book, but it didn't go where I wanted it to go, and it was unnecessarily graphic (Booka being brought up again to spite Abita and probably stir something in the reader was annoying at best). I thought Slewfoot was going to do something significant, but it felt like he was inactive and confused throughout the most of the story. I liked Abitha's character and wanted a different ending for her.
