The 4th book in the series done! I think this book was pretty consistent throughout, though did not have as much of the highs as the other one. This book, unlike the others, does feel that it revolves around a smaller set of main characters. In fact, one character gets a larger amount of screen time compared to the others, and is certainly a departure from the other books.
