So I feel much better about the series after reading this entry. The characters seem to be more solid and actually developing. I definitely like Marlo a lot more after this book. The overarching plot, while still a bit murky, is revealed a little more. It will be interesting to see how the final events of this novel affect the rest of the series. Having said that, this is the fourth(?) circle of Heck that Milton and/or Marlo destroyed, why isn't anybody mentioning this!? What's happening with the kids that were in those circles? I feel like the author is kind of forgetting that these characters are dead already, that they're just souls. (view spoiler)[Poe gets destroyed and a couple of kids "die" in the Shadow Box. (hide spoiler)] I hope this is explained more in the series. (view spoiler)[I did like that we get to see the Fauster family grieving and I actually really liked Hans. (hide spoiler)]
