The book overall was pretty disappointing though the end and set up for the next arc in the series is quite well done. Many of the characters are set up to deal with new and unique struggles which should make for a great launch in book 6. The main problem with this book for me was the pacing and just a feeling of bloat like the book could have been under 1000 pages and not lost any of the emotional impact. The constant jumping between POV characters in each chapter got pretty annoying so I didn’t feel like some important character moments hit as hard.
I’m still looking forward to book 6 but there need to be some changes from book 5 for sure.
