On first reading, didn’t like this one as well as 4 or 5. But I appreciate how much needs to be set up for book 7. It’s not as thrilling, but still satisfying. I think what’s bothering me is that usually there’s a plot twist (or three!) that totally take me by surprise, but there only seemed to be one that I didn’t see coming. It’s a necessary book. ;) Makes me all the more eager for book 7, and yet, I don’t want it to come because it means it’ll all be over….
