Certainly action-packed and fast moving. I was surprised at how involved I got, given that I thought the second and third books of the original trilogy dragged. This one dragged in places as well, but was consistently dynamic. Another strange thing is the tone - it reads like a children's book but has a few more mature episodes, some involving more mature language.
