The Details:
 Narrated by Grant Cartwright and Eloise Oxer
Unabridged

I think this may have been my least favourite of the series. I felt like there was too much going on and I got confused at which plot I was following.

A lot of the side characters had some povs too, so I found it difficult to keep track of everyone, despite being familiar with their voices from prior books in the series.

I know this was an important novel, building up to climax, but it was very overwhelming with the abundance of threads that were weaving together.
