Awesome, not my favourite of the series, but still awesome. I don't know if anyone else can relate to this but I always feel like there is always a book in a series that is larger than a trilogy that just builds up and gives you all of the information you need just before the series goes out with a massive bang. Examples of this would be Skulduggery Pleasant: The Kingdom of the Wicked and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (maybe). I think that this was that book. For a lot of people this is their series favourite but for me I can tell that there was a lot of set up for the final two books which isn't necessarily a bad thing though I find it less enjoyable.
