Not my favorite in the series. For most of it I thought I had it figured out but apparently I was wrong... I like how I ended it in my head better. The “Justin” character came out of nowhere, despite how many other places Peters could have gone with it. I think there were too many things happening in this one, too many “incidents”. And the characters all seemed cranky, mostly about the kids. I had little sympathy considering they have so many nannies to take care of them day and night in addition to the family. I kept thinking I wished Sennia could play a bigger part and have more affection from the family... they took her in like they took in Nefret but they really don't treat her like a daughter, in my opinion. Still, I am looking forward to the next one.
