oops, I skipped book 8 (but as with soap operas, it wasn't that hard to figure out what you've missed), but this book was significantly more interesting than book 7. Rather than rely on the old formulaic sad-kids-get-shipped-off-to-bad--place-and-get-tortured-by-Olaf, it appears that the kids may start doing more as we head toward the finish of the series. Thank goodness!!
(on a side note, the fact that I didn't even notice I'd skipped a book until I was part-way through this one just magnifies my overall feelings about this series. It is almost painful to "want to" finish the series. I'm sorely tempted to just give it up, but a part of me says to just stick it out & hope that it improves... a lot and soon!)
