4.0

Honestly, I expect series to get worse over time. This one didn't start off very well- lots of unnecessary repetition and forced exposition for first time readers (seriously, what kind of psychopath reads the seventh book in a series first?) but the quality is fairly stable across the series despite that. Selected new characters help keep things fresh, for sure, although Catherine could have used more characterization (high hopes for the next installment). Good world building and internal logic were sustained. On to the next!
