I pre-purchased this book and was really excited to listen to the newest book in the series. It began slowly and stayed that way for most of the book. I found myself drifting off and not even listening to the book most of the time. This is one of those books that felt like the publishers were telling the author to make a deadline and he just filled it with a bunch of junk to meet that deadline. I struggled to keep listening. This could have been book 5.1.1. There was really no reason to add all of the material from his early years. It was SO BORING! I will be reading the reviews before buying the next book in the series.
