I got this book via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. I enjoyed this story even though I have not listened to any of the others. Therefore, some of the plot twists did not make sense to me but the story was well written and took me only 3 times to get through it. I would get to something that I was sure was told in the other books and have to stop listening and go to something else before coming back and trying to decipher what was missed by not listening t the first 7 books. But overall it was a good listen.
