It often feels like she is repeating the same thing over and over. A very important book that is held back by its verbosity and esoteric language.

I enjoyed the first 3 books, but this one fell a little flat for me. It was an entertaining enough read for the most part, but it felt like a popcorn book.
There was very little character development aside from Wayne, and even then it seemed like it was just because he was being killed off.
