Re-read. I'm not sure what happened but I broke my stride somewhere along the line. Do I recommend reading this series fast? Yes and no. Halfway through this volume I regretted my decision. I wanted to read anything else from my stacks. An intermission was beckoning. I picked this up begrudgingly. I wanted to stick with the sense of oppressive doom though. It just makes sense. I'm trapped here. My last review of this and the previous volumes were lower but I rate the overall experience higher now. The notes from three years back that I'm overwriting here said I was confused and this might definitely be the toughest volume to follow yet. No time for questions now. I'm almost out of here.
