Query: Just Drags

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book "Dies the Fire" it maintained a good pace.This book however, just drags on. Almost the entire book is devoted to life on the farm, with little or no action. While some of it is interesting, it does start to get real monotonous completely unlike the first book.I found myself browsing through these parts and then reading when it got interesting, needless to say I browsed almost the entire book, 75% anyway. There is just way to much filler. The songs do not really add to the book.As mentioned earlier the first book was very good, this one was a sleeper. Had I not bought the third book "A Meeting at Corvallis", I would have packed this one in at page 50.This book really does nothing more than introduce some new characters, there is little or nothing else.
