It'd been a while since I read the first two volumes in this series but there was a nice recap at the beginning and past events are mentioned throughout the story in a way that fitted into the story and also rejogged my memory.
This was another fun, fast paced instalment. While I enjoyed some of the plot points and characterisations in this volume more than in the last, there was a lot of repetitiveness that I hadn't noticed previously, which dulled my enjoyment a bit. This came in the form of over-explanations of the characters' rationale and deductive reasoning, which was not necessary and made it seem like the reader was not clever enough to understand one explanation.
Overall, this was a fast, enjoyable read and I look forward to the next volume.
