Lots of big things happened in this book! Many characters, much upgrades. Athan ends up being super strong and bows out of the fight, Linden was fighting so he could buy toys at the store, and Safari was taken out as the evil character. It seems to me that many important powerful soul flavors (madra?) are discovered in Linden. It’s kind of a big deal. Overall, my fiance loved it and he said it made him laugh out loud!
