I'm not sure if I've just grown as a writer/editor/reader, but I didn't enjoy this book, nor the story as a whole. There were inconsistencies aplenty, like people suddenly appearing here or there without any mention of them moving, and so much time is spent on pointless things like dishes and decorations, that I ended up skimming through all but the parts where actual events took place. If all of the boring details were cut from this book, it would only be 50 pages long. Sorry, loved this series up until now, but this is the end for me.
