I’m marking this as “worth consuming” for the simple fact that it’s much better executed than all the previous books in the series. I don’t know whether the author had a sudden revelation that included the ability to write decent characterization and dialogue expressed in logical sentences and paragraphs, or if the editing is just much better than it was in the earlier books, but this one is the first book in the series that didn’t distract me with its beginner-ish awkwardness. WHEW.
