not my favorite in the series
this author suffers from married person disease, meaning he is happily married and so has a compulsive need to pair off everyone in BA's inner circle, excepting token gay man Akio and the Tontos, who are more side characters now. the only ones left are mostly all alien species, characters who disappeared several books ago, or kids. people are different and not everyone needs or wants to get married or pair off (some because they are asexual, some because they had such horrible trauma in their past that they chose to keep people at a distance, and some because they just enjoy being single and independent). having seen a few of my friends inflicted with this same disease, you bet your ass it's annoying.
other than that, my biggest complaint is that there are so many POVs in the past few novels that the main character plays second string as the reader gets dizzy while being bounced all over the place. it weakens the readers' connection with the main character and personally, if there is more than 3 POV in a single story I tend to start skipping chapters looking for the ones with the main character.
so yeah, not my favorite novel in the series.

An Absolute Bore
The definition of insanity is to do something over and over again and expect a different outcome. I guess this makes me insane.
I keep purchasing new entries in this series and expect what I loved long ago during the series beginning. However, boredom and disappointment ensues. I keep promising myself this will be the end when a new book comes out. This time I again make the promise to give it up. About half of my recent purchases of this series I have returned the credit. I will not waste my time again.
