This book was wonderful, but had a lot going on. Not too much to obscure the story, but enough that after reading it, I felt as if I had finished a ten-book series. That's not entirely a bad thing, but I did feel that there was a bit too much to take in. Like a giant, delicious sundae with a scoop or two of nearly every ice cream flavor in the shop. All the flavors picked worked together, sure, but there was still a lot to taste. It's a bit too much for me to even start picking apart. Maybe I'll update this review after I sit on it a little longer.
