I come from the ghost of book 2; if you like episodic books and would enjoy reading 100s of these books, skip this review and enjoy. Otherwise, beware. In Book 2, there was one year story line of him plotting to rob his clan’s vault, a plot line that makes little sense and took three hours of listening time. After that, they spend forever in an inn of horror. Not only was the inn just two weeks from their chasers and completely unwise to visit. The emperor folks they were commanded by the gods to avoid were there too. And then they do even dumber things after that even suspecting that the inn is being operated by the enemy. In other words, it is completely ridiculous.
