I really enjoyed this series, until this book. Without spoilers, there are two main issues. One, the book gets hijacked by a supporting character that does very little to advance the plot. It feels like we’re focused on them only because the author enjoys writing them.
Second, the end is a complete fumble. It feels like the author couldn’t figure out how to write the climax, so he just skipped over it and moved on. Major characters are left out of the final showdown that seemed to have been built up to be essential to this very confrontation.
In the end, I was left more annoyed than anything else.
