I don't think I've written a review in a long time but I had to for this one. What has gotten into Patricia? I've only recently started reading her series (from the beginning) and have enjoyed every book. But I am now seeing such a bad decline in her writing. The books used to flow so well and this book (and actually the one before it too) has SO much dialogue, monologue and description that is not needed. What happened?

There's a point where her bag spills on the floor and she throws all her things back into it. I mean, was there a point to it? Did she forget to place something in her bag that would be needed later? I'm at a loss. It has so much description that just ends up being repetitive and bad. I will continue reading the series because I've already read so much and hopefully things get better and this book was just a gaffe.
