Derailed the entire series
Up to this point I was excited about the series. Than somehow Philip athans writes a book and does not lead off of ANYTHING the previous authors had done. It is like this is a standalone book. A bad standalone book. I read 1 book a week up until the end of this one than I just stopped. It took 6 months for me to become bored enough to finish the series. Athans left the next author Paul kemp almost nothing to use. It was like they were running a relay race and athans just threw the race and left kemp to try and finish. Very disappointing. This book is not a recommended read.
