This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene FrostMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I read this book after just finishing Shadowfever by KMM, who is admittedly a hard act to follow, but I'm afraid 'This Side of the Grave' was my least favourite book of the series so far.
I just didn't find it very exciting. The plot was okay, but there were no major surprises and I'm unsure I would have kept reading if I hadn't already read and enjoyed the others in the series. At times I felt like I had missed a few pages, as it skipped to a new scene leaving out too much detail in between, making the plot confusing in places.
There was some character development, but not a great deal and the new characters which were introduced were nothing special.
The big fight scene at the end was the first time while reading this book that I was really engaged by the story and didn't want to put it down.
Despite my disappointment, I look forward to the next book, which, judging by the taster in the back of this book, promises to be more interesting than this one.
