4.0

Starting way back, decades before 'Caught in the Net', all those slippery threads of intrigue you tried to hold in your brain are woven into a rather engaging OMG SHE DIDN'T first half. The motivations that were inexplicable in the first book are revealed in brilliant light—but there is still much book and OMG HE DIDN'T to go as the new info informs our players.

Maybe too nice an ending, as it is a rather pretty bow, but for a two-book, generation-spanning monster it is acceptable for the hand of god M. Lecoq to saunter in at the end and escort everyone to their proper place.
