Yep, this was a good read. As usual, there was a bit of a dip of exciting things going on in the middle, but it picked up at the start and end and I found this issue wasn't as bad as the previous books. Overall its a solid book.

adventurous dark funny tense medium-paced

3.25

Unecessesary use of the N word is what brought the rating down for me. The story line is wonderful.
