I love this series, the world the author has created and the way he writes. It is usually well thought out and plausible. The premise of this story was not plausible, every twist and turn was seen a mile away. Absolutely none of it was believable. This book is out of character of the author, and every character did a half dozen things that were so blindly stupid and out of character it was painful.
The book preceding this was the best installment thus far and I wished I stopped there. I sure hope it was a fluke and the rest of this series is at least mildly believable.
