This book was every bit as compelling as the previous ones in the series. Love the characters, and the story is woven from threads in many previous books..however, would also be strong enough to stand alone.
However, as much as I like to guess where the plot is heading, I like to also be surprised, and on this occasion I had already worked it out the main ending early in the book.
The last couple of pages were a treat that being said!!
