Books these days tend to rely more on emotion to carry the story instead of details and emotion, but (except for the battle scenes in which it was justified) the book went from several different continents and planes with not much happening like Tom taking a nap, I feel like the author wanted to give the reader as much of a clear picture as possible which I commend him for. Also, this book skips around too much between different characters. I feel like an index of characters would be of great help to the reader. If these books were shorter I would have just reread them, but honestly I don't have that kinda time. Lots of names were thrown around with little to no backstory to remind the reader who they are. I would first like to note that the only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 was because the book itself was very disorienting in that I hardly knew who half the characters were from the previous books and tediousness of the story.
