The best book after book 3 and the best book for my taste. This book from page 1 starts setting up and developing this entire arc of war between the hunters and the crawlers. The ending of the book 5 started Carl's actions and madness against the outside world and this book just blows out all imagination into oblivion with the book constantly building up steam from 1 arc to another explosive arc. The epilogue and finale being absolutely insane, as per the rumor mills book 6 seems to be the best so fingers crossed. This book also gives us an idea of the scope of madness that's in store for Floor 9 and moving forward as the stakes is building towards an incredible scale in all aspects.
