All of the books in this series need another wave or two of editing. I still love the series.
It's hard to rate this book because it's actually more like a series of short stories. Some of them are amazing. Some of them are dull as dirt. It's hard to be enthusiastic about battle sequences without meaty plot points or character interactions to make it "mean" more. If you fill up a book with a ton of action scenes and only a few stand out? Well, the overall book may feel okay instead of amazing for the couple of awesome battle scenes. That's how I feel about this one.
A transitional piece that pushed the plot forward but not by much. I was worried that story progression would stall due to how much detail and effort was going into developing the world & situations. Never fear! Next book is awesome!
A couple of awesome things happen in this book but they're spread out thin. It really drives home how awful the world would be if people were outmatched and surrounded by mutated environment that has no qualms about killing you. Especially if you want to pretend that nothing has changed and other people can take care of it for you.
