The Queen remains my favorite. :) You may even end up being more disappointed than me because I don't really care who the narrator is so that part of the book didn't phase me a bit but I still thought it wasn't nearly as good as the others. My neighbor just finished it though and she said even though she missed Gen she still really liked it.

Good luck with your slump! I know exactly what you mean. When in similar slumps I've run through the first chapter of something like 8 books before getting to the one that matches my mood.
