I love the Saga series! This one was just as epic as the rest, still deep and darkly beautiful. I rate this a four instead of a five because it wasn't quite as great a "story" as the previous, it seemed more like an interlude to finish/extend some of the minor character arcs, and I guess I am more invested in the overall story of the main family (I get that they are all connected, the complexities are great, but I felt like the overall story wasn't as great as previous).
