I think the errors are actually growing in frequency. This is still a decent story although there seemed less plot progression than the previous books.

Same gripes as the book before, writing is terrible. Story had so much potential and at this point I feel like all the tropes used have been executed in a disappointing way. The main characters decisions don't match his background and his stupidity is mind boggling.

2 stars because I thought that this book was okay.
Things that this book got wrong (especially compared to the past books):
(1) Betrayal of the established values of the series. This series, for the first 3 or 4 books, was a perfect psychologically safe book where the main character is perfect and stomps everyone else with there being no fear that they are in danger. Suddenly in this book all kinds of bad things are happening that the main character cannot deal with. It is not bad writing, but it should come in a separate series. Everyone who was reading to this point was reading for the roflstomp, not for the struggles. This feels like a betrayal of the core values of the story, and is very jarring.
(2) Annoying, constant perspective shifts. All other books were centered around the main character. In this book the author then starts giving us 4-5 different characters' perspectives simultaneously. That is highly annoying and hard to follow. Humans have extremely limited short term memory. On top of that, perspective shift happen in as soon as 4 pages after the last, which only adds to the confusion.
