"Probably the weakest of the series so far. Someone described it as Dune-like. I never was a Dune fan and one of the things that really annoyed me in the movie was their thoughts expressed as whispers. Much of this book was the thoughts of the various characters. It did get a bit taxing. Overall, though, it was an OK read."
