I enjoy reading these books, but goodness sakes are they long and filled with a zillion characters. Half of the time I couldn’t recall who was who, but I just kept reading. She can paint a character quite well and write in an engaging style.

This book was about 400 pages longer than it needed to be. The story just wasn’t as enjoyable as the others in the series. Maybe it was all the back-and-forth chat room dialogue? Or maybe it was the literal weight of the physical book, which made it uncomfortable to read and so it never became a true page-turner for me. Decent, but it wasn’t my favorite. 3.5 stars.

Why this book is so long is beyond me. It could easily have been cut by half and been much more effective. There's a good story in here somewhere but it's smothered in all the other stuff.
