3.5 stars rounded up

Another enjoyable installment in this series--still fresh ideas and not getting stale. I didn't love all of the premise as much as some of them and am getting more annoyed with Mma Grace Makutsi, but was quite pleased with Charlie's character growth. The whole idea of the election was a wee bit lame to me, so not a full 4 stars, but I am definitely happy I read it and am hoping there will be another one so I can see what happens with Charlie1

Also, please, please, please, I'd love to see one that involves Precious' children more.

I’m a few books behind - one of my summer plans (ie January) is to catch up a bit. I totally agree about the children, though - with a lot of the books, it’s almost easy to forget that they are around

Right-you're in summer already--long days, hot weather, etc. They are great summer reads.
