4.0

Probably closer to a 3.5.

The series has gotten more and more esoteric over time, but a lot comes to a head in this book. The story alternates between the current story (which was great) and some history (which was okay), and that lack of focus scales things backwards a bit overall. With that said, the last few chapters were some of the best that this series has put out in some time, so it's good to see things moving along.

Wholeheartedly looking forward to the next volume.
