Her writing is definitely improving in each book. I’m enjoying the series and will see it through to the end. But as with the previous books, it just seems like there is too much going on and there wasn’t much planning that went into the world building at the outset of writing the series. So now contradictions keep happening and new elements are just thrown into the mix to explain or distract from that.
