Although all of the familiar characters are there, and I enjoyed the plot line, the writing style seems to have changed again. The narrative in this book didn't seem to be as free flowing as the earlier books. I did persevere though, but had I tried reading this book first then I don't think that I would have bothered finding the rest.
