---

Everyone has been reduced to their barest characteristics and it was really frustrating. I don’t mind being able to deduce the ending, but knowing it over 150 pages before the end? That’s hardly fun at all (and I’m like 80% that this was an Agatha Christie plot, and to have Agatha Christie as a character…not a big fan of that, honestly) 

I hope the next book takes a turn back to interesting characters and fun plots, or I might be done with the series
