Love the series but got a bit disappointed with the reiterations of the previous storyline in this one. The majority of fans don't need the recaps of the story, and I felt this book went overboard to the point that it felt like filler, not story. As a reader who buys the next book immediately after reading the prior book, it actually feels like a commercial or a soap opera recap. Takes you out of the story like bad spelling (editing) if you know what I mean... Considering the small percentage of people who might just happen to jump into book number (x) not knowing there are several books preceding the series (which is kinda silly if you have any knowledge of series books) it seems such a waste of a piece of art to devote recaps at the expense of the respect towards the fans who don't need it. Just sayin'. Love the books though, they are mostly absolutely awesome!
