After closing the third book, I immediately started the fourth one. And I liked it much better right away: a thrilling setting, plot twists, and even the fictional backstory—which is actually just a pretext for the plot within the book itself—was gripping. After the rather mediocre third installment, this is definitely a step back in the right direction!

At the same time, I’m going to shift down a gear with the series now. Reading a series back-to-back is a bit exhausting, especially since the series hasn't even been finished yet.
