This is definitely the best book in the series. Most of my gripes about earlier books are resolved - Jenna got an attitude adjustment and the pacing - especially in the beginning - was a lot quicker. Beetle is a great character and I'm really enjoying Simon's arc as well. Merrin is iffy for me - I can't tell how I feel about him as a character. The new world details were interesting.

I recommend to fans of the series and fantasy - but I wouldn't recommend starting with this book, even though (IMO) it's the best in the series (so far).
