This book was both better and worse than its predecessors in the series. Better in that the descriptions of almost everything were very vivid. Worse in that the plot points were all very abrupt. Overall this book did not feel like it was written by the same author even though it did contain the story we have been following. Also the ending was extremely disappointing combining multiple cheesy letters as an info dump and a poorly written cliff hanger that left you wondering more if the last page of the book wasn’t printed than it actually left you wanting to know what happens next.
