Re-read. My second favorite book in the whole series after Book 1. Some characters were obviously plot devices, but I loved the arc surrounding Charlie's mom and expanding our circle of endowed. When I was little, I thought this was the last book because of how the last chapter ends -- but we've got more to go. Onwards and upwards, folks!

As I said with the last book, it's nice to see things that are more deeply affecting Charlie & Co. A LOT was revealed in this book about the continuing feuds between the various lines of the Red King. However, I will say that Benjamin really bothered me in this book. He wasn't reacting the way you would expect based on his character thus far in the series.

I'm taking a break from this series after this book. I'm hoping that a little time away will freshen the stories and the characters, because I'm pretty bored with the entire series right now after reading the first five books within the last couple of months. Even the big revelation in this book didn't hit me on an emotional level that you would expect from such a big moment.
