Not bad, not wonderful. I was a bit confused at times - since it's been months since I read the last book, which was immediately before (and at some points, overlapping) this one. But I remembered the story well enough. The big secrets and mysteries didn't really work for me - too many new concepts dumped at one time - and the switch at the end kind of messed that up anyway. I don't know. There were good bits, but overall the story didn't work well for me, and I'm not interested in either rereading or reading more by this author. ( )
