this book really took me by surprise. the twists and turns fully got me - i did not expect any of them. really good plot, not great execution. the writing style bored me at points and felt like a chore to get through. also far too many characters to keep track of, constantly had to refer back to character log to know who was being spoken of. 
overall very good book. would recommend

I had absolutely no idea this book was part of a series, let alone the fourth in. The writing was impeccable and it didn't feel like I was missing any back story let alone 3 entire previous books.
