The first three stories in this installment were good but just lacked something for me. They either felt obvious in how they were going to go or I felt they were very similar to past stories. The last story picked up a bit and was my favourite of this set but still felt a little rushed. Overall still enjoyable but not my favourite of the series.

A bit slow start but the meaning of this book came across really well. Wonderfully written, gets really good at the end of the book. Worth reading!
