the description says nothing about other books, but this is like book 9. Very confusing if you haven’t read previous books. Not a stand alone. Everytime I think I know who/what everyone is, the author adds chapters that deal with other people who we don’t know anything about and doesn’t pertain with story. Jumps around and doesn’t tell you were your at, have to figure it out. Characters sound kinda interesting, but not enough to buy the other books.
