This book gave me more Warner content, which I loved, but really not much happened. Except that eventually new information, which really felt like it came out of nowhere (which made it feel a little too out there), was revealed that turned everything on its head. Also I'm not terribly sure why we put Juliette in charge with her total experience of none.
