Oh yeah, I was quickly reminded why I love this series. It really grips me and the pages turn super fast. It retains the serious YA tone of the previous ones and the emotional parts are pretty hard-hitting. Actions with both tangible and moral/emotional consequences are what make this stand out from many other teen "adventures". The story is still sort of plausible, maybe a bit less so than in the previous ones, but I think the balance between overly lucky and overly unlucky situations is managed OK.
