The previous tomes in this series really draw you in & keep you riveted, making this one seem a sprawling, disjointed mess by comparison. Too many new characters introduced you could care less about, and all the while you're wondering about the ones you already know so well from the earlier books. I finished Books 1 and 2 in what amounted to lengthy extended sittings, reading whenever I could steal a moment; this one languished on my nightstand, read only in stages. After an abruptly stupid ending, the author even felt the need to justify himself (that's how you know things are bad) with some nonsense about telling the whole story for half the characters, rather than half the story for all of them. Whatever.
