I hate to say that my interest fell off with this volume. While I still love the core story, the side story with the bunny was way too sad, and felt like it had been written just to wring emotion out of the readers. I don't like that kind of story manipulation, especially as the note to end the book on.
While I realize that this series is meant to be bittersweet, but I don't like the focus to be drawn away from the brothers. And honestly, it's a difficult story for younger readers (the targeted audience) to really understand.
I'm hoping the next book goes better.
