This book is all about the transitions. The previous loose ends are finished up, and a bunch of new adventures and lore will begin. It’s a setup, of the next few books and adventures. It’s the weakest so far, but don’t take that as it’s not good. its great! And required to keep it for a long series, but normally it could be done between 2 longer books from the last one and the next one. Beating up about the small books has been done on other reviews, and nothing to add there except its true. The battles and details are great, performance is great, so just sit back and enjoy it. If you look hard enough, you can try and find something you you don’t like involving the plot or character motivations, but why? Overall, I liked where it goes, and where it is going. Great book.
