This was fine, bit of a romp which was certainly a change from the first part of the trilogy, and the romance didn’t really work for me, but a fun read.

I’ve dropped the ball on this one, not sure why, as I was enjoying it, but somehow I got stuck. I’ll probably need to start again at the beginning when I pick it back up again (which I definitely want to!)
I’m on record as finding Book 4 pretty hard work, but it was more fun this time round (for a given value of fun, obvs)

I haven’t actually finished-finished, but have read as much as I’ll manage of this book at this time in my life. It’s very good, very dense, hard recommend
This is not a good book. I really really tried with it, because the concept and the tropes were right up my street, but the execution is terrible, and got worse and worse over the course of the book, so I’m dnf’ing this 72% through, which I Never do. Really disappointing.
