Did not meet my expectations

This is one of my all time favorite series, but sadly this book did not deliver like the others have. The series has been a favorite with me because of the villains and the action coming from the conflict arising from the group’s struggles.

No action occurred until a third of the way through the story and then very little subsequently. The focus was more on Lloyd, a character we know well from previous books. Problem is, Lloyd was always a filler character who was good in small doses. Making his antics the focus of the story was a deal breaker for me.

One very interesting thing happened in the story setting up an interesting next book. I won’t reveal spoiler details.

This book could have been the first quarter of a more involved story with deeper plot and more action.
