This didn't fit with the others
3 stars
This one didn't work for me. The beginning was fine, it just dove into family politics. Not my thing, but fit with the series.
The thing that ruined the book for me was that exposition in dialog was used during the action scenes in the climax, like military-style action where both sides are just explaining what's going on. I couldn't fit it with any of the characters that were doing it, and it completely pulled me out of the story.
