3.0

Very repetitive of earlier books in the series (like hey, remember that time we did that thing in book 3?) and a lot less stressful than usual, which means there was a lot less plot. Not sure if there's just too much affection for the huge cast of characters we have to keep track of at this point, but mostly lacked the teeth of previous stories. Also the first time I listened as an audiobook instead of reading, which could have colored my experience.
