I'd stopped reading the series because the previous two books were pretty depressing and I assumed the rest of the series would continue the downward spiral. However, that's not the case with this book.
Story 5 of 5 - the story is well written, suspenseful, the pace is quick without any slowdown due to rabbit holes.
Character 5 of 5 - many of the characters from the previous books are here, the new characters are well fleshed out and although there are alot of characters in this book, their names and characters are distinct enough that you don't confuse one for another.
Setting 5 of 5 - the story's world is based on real world events, giving the story additional topics and themes to contemplate.
Language 3 of 5 - although the story is well written without excess word baggage or words that require a masters degree to understand, the emphasis is clearly the other doors.
