The idea for this story had a lot of potential. I must admit I was disappointed when I learned it was 3 years after the Specials book and the characters were all new. Even so, I found myself wound into the story because I liked the world Scott created. The thing with this book was I felt it was summarized instead of indulged in. There was a lot more I hoped would happen. Instead, because so much was crammed into one book, I felt a lot of the characters were cut short. The book was very good, but needed to be spread out and elaborated on for me to really enjoy it. Still worth reading, but the depth doesn't match its predecessors. In the end the book felt like an extended version of its Cliff Notes. The writing was, however, spectacular. I will continue to read his work.
