Other people have already complained about the narration, but on top of that the story is entirely lacking in charm and guile. There comes a point when it’s time to stop a series or accept that if you continue it’s going to be a poor simulacrum – this book represents that point in this series. Sorry to have to break it to you but what was a great run has ended. Don’t bother with this one, it’ll just make you sad to see once beloved characters treated this way.
