Okay, so here we are, six books in. The promise of answers to Emma's mystery is finally a reality and not just a promise so I was very compelled to read this book. It was a little slow at first and I think the main thing that does that for me is the Lotan/Leviathan thing is... somewhat boring? It's interesting in Emma's eyes but I feel that getting the inside look from the other perspectives is confusing and reveals things in a way that isn't exactly interesting but kind of spoils things and I'd rather just see what's going on with our dear Emma.
The writing here is somewhat not as great as the others, and the author has put out so many of these books in such a short time I wonder if that affects the quality and I certainly wouldn't mind a little more wait if that is something AJ needs, but they're still well-written, some habits like putting all of the thoughts into paragraphs when dialogue might have been more fun come up quite a bit in this book but by the last 30% of the book I was a lot more interested and excited in what was going on.
