Book Review: Read this to get to the next one
Summary: 3 Stars
I've read all of this series up to the fourth book, and I'm hoping to receive the fifth soon. This one was not my favorite of the series. I don't mean to say it was bad, because it isn't. None of them are. However, I felt it lacked any kind of definite climax. It felt very monotone most of the way through, without any real defining moments. Knight tries for one a few times, but over all, the villians (Quislings) in this segment are much more bumbling and inept than usual, making them horribly undermatched for the protagonists, leaving the conflict without any real sense of uncertainty. That said, this book takes the time to explain more of the world Knight has created, which is good. Mostly, I still recommend reading this book because if you are even considering it, you have read the first two, and the best part of this book is the very end, where the author sets the stage for an amazing fourth installment. Without this book, a reader would have a hard time understanding what is going on in book four (Valentine's Rising), which is definitely worth reading.
