3.25 Unfortunately this was quite the letdown from the rest of the series so far. The story is a bit jumbled and builds mostly towards the not-quite-cliffhanger that serves as the setup for the next book. Morwen's point-of-view is interesting in parts, especially her talking to her cats, but remains ultimately a little bland. Where the previous volume had really interesting titbits in its picaresque there are few that stand out in this one and most of the characters feel quite flat.

I really wanted to like it, but if this had been the first volume, I wouldn't have continued the series. It's not bad at all, but after the rest it felt quite unsatisfying.
