There's not quite as much punch in this novel for me as the first four, but it's still great. The voice acting is really good too, and had me in tears at certain points.

OMG I keep saying this after each one but it looks like I’m saying it again. This is my favorite book in the series thus far!

It has everything!

Frustrated ... I wanted to like it more, and probably would've if it wasn't for the "Calla folken." I just can't stand the way they speak. I would be happy if I never had to hear another
thankee-sai, if it do ya, anyro, do ya ken, etc. for the rest of my life. Oh and now I can add big-big and smol-smol to the list of phrases that make me cringe.

Other than the minor grating issues, the story was pretty good.

Elton John is still singing "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," but maybe that's not surprising. It's a pretty long song, one of those four-minute jobs, must be.
