review 1: I've been reading this series since I was pretty young (I think in middle school or something and I'm 26 now) and I've always loved the prose that the author comes up with. She has this way of describing a single instant in time with such vivid detail that you can't help but get emotionally attached to the scene. Overall I think this series has a lot of well developed characters and a very rich storyline but it just didn't come through in this installment.I don't know quite what happened. I kept waiting for the book to begin, to really get into the meat of things and the action...and then it was over. I feel like it spent so much time filling in the background that I didn't know where it was going. Normally the author is very adept at putting a single, compelling story int... moreo the context of the overall series but this time I couldn't care less about it. Then the fact that the main plot wrapped up an ongoing storyline from 4 or 5 books past was just ridiculous. It felt very contrived and left me kind of upset that I had felt so emotionally invested in that particular plot.Overall, I appreciated the new installment to see how the character's stories were progressing but it was definitely not the best book in the series. If this is the first one you're read from this author, please, give it another chance and read one from earlier in the series.
review 2: This book's plot was convoluted and if I hadn't read most of the previous books I would have been totally lost.Regarding the resurgence of several characters that were previously pronounced dead - I don't read zombie books generally and can't the author think up new evil geniuses? I adore both Midnight Louis and Temple Barr, and other characters are great; but it's time to weed out some peripheral characters and focus on the good - less is more and all that!Keep Temple, Matt, Molina, Ambrosia/Letitia, Kit and the Fontanas and dump many of the others, PLEASE. less
