This has been the highly anticipated conclusion to the story arc that began in Flashpoint. I am glad that it is finally over...it has been driving me crazy over the last couple of books. I will not give away any spoilers to the plot here...I'll talk in generalities, so as not to ruin it for anyone.
First, I have to say that I am a HUGE fan of this series. I *have* to read the book as soon as it is released or I go crazy. I also learned the spoilers before I read the book and I don't regret it.
I did enjoy this book. I was disappointed with some aspects--resolutions were not as well written as they could have been, some of the story was a little weak, old favorite characters became annoying, etc (I will say that I used to like Sophia, but now I wouldn't care if she were never mentioned again). What I did enjoy was the fast pace. It moved slow for the first 80 pages or so, but after that, I had a hard time putting it down. There were a few great scenes between some old favorites (I LOVE Sam!) and I wished for more from them.
This was not even close to a favorite in the series...it is actually probably near the bottom, but I love some of the early books so much that I'm not sure that Suz will ever be able to beat them.
I am hoping that now that this annoying story arc is over and done with that Suz will get back to better stuff...maybe Lopez's story??? I think she is setting him up for something, so I am looking forward to that.
