I read the first four books in this series while I was sick, which wasn't necessarily a good time, but the books were pretty easy to read, so it was a good distraction. That being said, I was that my library acquired a copy of the fifth book in the series and I felt a little bored, so I decided to read it. Of course, the fourth book ended in a cliffhanger, so I was interested to see how that would develop. Well. This book does take place after the events of book four, but only a few chapters make the story progress (mainly just the very last chapter). The rest of the book is literally the events of the first book, but from the POV of Cas. If you have always wanted to know what Cas thought during the events of book one, then I guess read this. If not- this will probably not be for you. I felt it was underwhelming, because nothing really happens to progress the story and Cas' thoughts are very much what you would expect them to be.
