But I liked how he was fleshed out here and how you see he's more than the angry kid that lashes out at any and everything. I like how this book explained Andrew's aversion to being touched, even though that seemed pretty obvious from the start. I really appreciated the way Allison dealt with the trauma she was faced with, and the slow reveal of what had happened to Andrew was done pretty well. My favorite part of these books are when the characters sit down and talk about things, heart to heart. Most everything happens near the very end of the book as far as the plot goes, and yet I found myself enjoying the beginning of this book far more than the back half, despite the general lack of plot. You could argue that the plot was complex, because it certainly isn't lacking for twists and turns, though the pacing in this book leaves something to be desired. But while the main characters continued to impress me with their complexity, the plot fell completely short of the mark. After reading The Foxhole Court, I knew mostly what to expect when going into The Raven King.
