I do appreciate that Meadows made sacrifices of characters along the way - even though I predicted who was dying when easily, and I predicted the big curtain draw back the moment the cage first rolled into town. Being able to talk to everyone, figuring out everything on her own. But everything Ana does is too convenient. I could read this one without feeling it was dragging (mostly because I was reading it through an incredibly depressing, feeling let down by everyone and everything weekend in my life) so it was an upstep from reality. This was better than the eye gouging terribleness of Phoenix Symphony, but it was only really that. I went into this series madly, passionately in love with book one, recommended by a best friend who said this series read to her the way I wrote, and i fell hook, line, sinker into this series, but which each book or novella stepping away from book one it was gotten more convenient and more problematic, and this one was no better.
