This did not go where I thought it was going to go. Straight off the bat I felt like we took such a sharp left turn that I got whiplash from just reading about it.
Once I got over he whiplash the plot was good, but I don't think it was as good as the previous books. It almost felt like it was not part of the series at all and just happened to use the same characters. The characters introduced this time around were fine, maybe not my favourite but they weren't bad either. This book though did have a lot of returning characters from the series. Like everyone. It was great to read how everyone interreacted with one another and the banter that came from it.
All in all the series was a good read, but I do think this book was the weakest link in the series.
