This book is in many ways my favorite in the series, though I think the first one is still the strongest. The plot of this book is constructed really well. I love the cats. I love Morwen as a point of view character. I think Killer is hilarious (though he’s definitely also super annoying and I can see him bothering certain readers a lot). This book also feels the least dated out of the whole series, for what that’s worth.

The ending would have been the perfect setup to a slightly different/better final book. I actually like when the penultimate installment of a series ends at a lower point before the final installment comes in and fixes things. I just don’t like the last book in this series, and unfortunately, because it was written first, that’s how it was always going to be.

I recommend reading the first three books and then making up the fourth book in your head.
