I am a big C.A fan and this one fell short, It was 2/3 the length of a normal book and I think the extra 4 hours would have made the difference for me. Im fine with the price of the book and it killed time but I hope Chad takes this in a different direction. I could have done without the distraction as the first 5 hours really had nothing to do with the original series. Lauren is on the cover but nowhere in the book. I dunno just left feeling disheartened but looking forward to the next book none the less.
