2.5

The book was written in keeping with the author's signature style, but the plot was even less developed than it's predecessor. Again, the characters of Ben and Janie regressed from the development they had undergone in the last book; they weren't even half as vibrant as they were in "The Apothecary". The ending was extremely anticlimactic, and overall, the book is entirely forgettable.
