Felt pretty meh about this book to be honest.  A lot of the issues this series has with sexism were at the forefront in this one and a lot of the character development felt rushed or happened off page because of events that had nothing to do with said characters????  I can for sure see why some reviewers have said the prefer the short story collections to the novels in this series because that's about where I am right now.  Hoping I like the next book more.  The first half was way better than the second half in my opinion, but the sudden turn it took in the middle was where a lot of the poor execution of character development came in for me.
