Okay, this book is back on track.
This was the weakest book in the series so far. As power levels ramp up I hope this isn't a trend.

I made it 60% of the way through this one and it wasn't bad, but I had no attachments to anyone or anything. I switched to another book and didn't care enough to go back.
