  I love this series, but this was not the book it could have been. It felt in parts like the author was making the usual rounds of the usual haunts, and I totally nailed the traitor on his first appearance. Interesting twists with Thomas, which will hopefully be fodder for better execution in the next book, and I enjoyed Molly as well.

  there are some excellent character moments throughout and the various mentor-mentee relationships get some real growth. plus, we finally see a Senior Council member show some of their stuff. Injun Joe FTW. (show less)
