4.5 The thing that bugged me was how many sub-plots there were. It was hard to keep track of and some of the plots had nothing to do with the main plot. I'm sure they will come into play in The Assassin King, but it left a lot of name bobbling around in my head after their story was dropped. Some reappeared neared the end and I almost forgot who they were and why they were important.
Now onto the many strong points of this novel. It's consistent with the rest of the series in lore and world building and character development. It was amazing. It is so vivid and real. I always want more from the world, yet I still feel satisfied when I finish a book. The leads are still strong and diverse and make the book better. Other than the amount of sub-plot, whether relevant or seemingly irrelevant, it was flawless.

I've read a lot of reviews on this book and there is a lot of complaints about repetition and reminders from the other books (1-4) of the series. I agree she repeats a lot. When reading in order straight through it is annoying but not overly so.
This was not the best of the series so far, but a lot of build up for future books that promises good plots.

I was pretty excited that there were more books after the original three, I didn't enjoy them quite as much, but they were still fun to read.

It was interesting but way too long. The plot was centered around Rhapsody's pregnancy, which isn't interesting enough to carry a book. Basically this one was setting up the next book, which should be better.
