Great story as always, and I thoroughly enjoyed, but there are too many sound effects that are distracting or downright annoying. The previous books hit a great middle ground where there was just a bit of the extra effects without it taking away from the story. This one had way too much at times. Additionally, in the epilogue, there is a teeth-clenching mosquito noise that is incredibly grating for those of us that can hear it. It lasts throughout almost the entire epilogue and made me want to shut it off right there.
