The myriad perspectives were difficult to deal with, especially as they switched so quickly and frequently. However, I respect the authors and I'm curious to see how the series ends, so I dealt with it.

I can see why some people have an issue with this one, the whole story takes place in about one place. I thought it was a refreshing turn of pace. Because FINALLY, we didn't have to witness someone following, then repeating what happened, another group following and repeating, etc. It more reminded me of the classic doors on Scooby-Doo, where you've got people running in and out of doors constantly, but never catching each other?
That seems to be the theme: Break Wynn out of the guild. Except she's got two different groups of friends wanting to do it each their own way, and it'd be better for her if they didn't run into each other. For reasons. (Chane)
It added a lot of suspense, trying to think about what will happen when the two groups meet again knowing they all want to kill each other; and Wynn's more mature now than she was before the first group left her. But we get to update on Leesil and Magiere, though it's more of a fill them in kind of situation because they won't really tell us what happened while they were away, and it's a nightmare of a mystery.
I can see why it'd bore some people, but I quite enjoyed seeing everyone back again and their personal dynamics with members of the other 'team.' I like learning more about the overall mystery arc, but I enjoy it more when we're about to get back to the adventure.

Ooo things are getting even more interesting. I love this series so much. I can't wait to see what the next book holds for our main characters.

This might be the Noble Dead book I remember the least from the series, if I'm being honest, and the four star rating probably reflects that. After all, I had a habit of giving almost all of these books five stars without even a second thought. Its been five years since I read this, and the final arc is the arc I remember the least from the series, mostly because it was going in a different direction than I expected it to and because it was so rushed. But I'm getting ahead of myself; let's focus on Between Their Worlds.
This marks the return of Leesil, Magiere, and Chap. Like I said in my previous reviews of the series, I didn't hate Wynn, but she wasn't my favorite. I think a lot of people agreed with me there. So returning to my old favorites was a breath of fresh air. I welcomed the return of their banter, of their internal thoughts, of their half of the story. Especially if it gave me a bit of a break from Wynn and Chane. So this book immediately had that going for it.
After reading some of the other reviews, some people found this book to be slow and among the weaker books in the series. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that, but it's certainly not the strongest either. This arc plays a lot of catch up for Leesil and Magiere, though this book doesn't get entirely into all of that like some of the later books do, so it's not really a complaint for this one. But it does move more slowly, and I think that's okay. I'm going to agree with another reviewer on this: the series is LONG, and not every book can be action-packed. This one didn't need to be. It moved the plot forward in a different way than the books typically did, but it got us somewhat caught up and thrust us right back into the overall plot of finding the orbs, so I can't complain too much. I just wish I remembered more of it.

I tried reading this two times before and honestly though I gave three stars, I just should've listened to my reluctance the first times around. I am seriously hoping 'The Dog in the Dark' will pick up my interest unlike the last four books. I mostly blame the fact that the authors just really want to keep Wynn in the series even though a good portion of fans just get tired of that little sage.

370 pages and nothing really happened. I get that there was a lot going on with personal relationships, but if I wanted a 90% relationship book, I would read something Oprah recommends. Blech. I will still read the next book, because I want to know what happens with the orbs, but I'm hoping there are only a few more in this series.
