Title: Not the best in the series, but it ends with quite a cliffhanger
Review: In my revised review of the first volume in this series, after I'd read the third volume, I wrote, "Much ado has been made about Bella Swan's helpless, self-destructive behavior in Stephenie Meyer'sThe Twilight Saga Collectionseries, but Elena could wear that crown just as easily. By the end of the third book, Elena has undergone a great deal of emotional maturity in a few short weeks. She ends up becoming quite unselfish and likable." In this, the second book in that series, Elena is still in the first round of that transformation. This isn't the best or most interesting volume in the series, but stick with it; bigger and better things are coming, and Elena is becoming a stronger character.
Is the review positive or negative?
