Improved on the first, lots of fun, just finished snarfing down #3, can't wait for #4 to be published. Still not happy about the once-a-book erotic sequence (seems to be there to improve sales rather than to guide the story or create a meaningful character arc) but whatchagonnadointhismarket? 
 After my "Preparing for #4 re-read": Enjoyed it all over again. A good read.
