The plot needs characters and twists that have to stray outside the formula. Not that there is any chance of that happening here, so…

This one is a pretty badly put-together book, even for a Christmas cash-in. Wait for it to hit the bargain bins if you really must read it.

I’ve read this many times before, so color me indifferent to the whole thing.

A tepid closure to a tepid series. We can all move on with our lives now, phew.

The first half is dumb, the second is alright but feels like it belongs to a different book.

This one has all of the author’s bad habits and so little of the good ones. Give this one a pass.

The entire thing is built on an idiot plot of a premise, and it’s all downhill from page one.

Sigh, the author’s determination to play it safe by following the formula keeps what could have been a fine, memorable tale firmly rooted in mundanity.

Stupidity piled upon stupidity, and that’s just the plotting process. Everything about this one screams “Ill-plotted gibberish!”
