For me, this book could easily have been 150 plus pages shorter than it was. The fact the climax to the story happens almost 100 pages (I'm guessing here as I listened to the audio version, so estimating based on percentage and Goodreads page count) before the actual end is testimony to that. It just felt like it needed more editing. Sadly, for me this made it the weakest of the series, as I ended up getting lost as to my position in the plot, abs felt the characters got diluted due to the size of the plot. For me, the strength of the series were the characters and the dynamics between them, but they got shifted around so much that all of that was lost. It's a shame, because it really should have ended on a high!
