I liked this book. I liked the concept and the characters, but I also liked the previous two books better. Part of the reason is because Jenret was not in this one so much, but I also felt that there were some inconsistencies and that the story didn't tie together as well as it could. The story-within-a-story...

This one is more hectic and exciting than the first book in the series (although that was by no means dull). It's a page-turner, which I found hard to put down, although I've read it before.

Another way of putting it is that it's moving more briskly through the plot and now lingering less over particular...
