Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In a story arc overburdened with extraneous characters and subplots, this book is full of unnecessary complications, the reappearance of pointless characters and repetitive storytelling. Past characters of minor importance or interest are brought into unbelievable series of coincidences and bog down any discernable forward progress of the plot. The subplots that have been developed throughout past books are well past due to be clipped, resolved or brought to some kind of meaningful context with the main plot. Instead, they continue to fray and split, making the overall storytelling fractured and incoherent. Nothing new happens in this book. In fact numerous identical scenes are resurrected with different characters playing the same roles. Be prepared to think, "Haven't I read this before..." Truly, this was a wasted effort on the part of author and reader.
