I really tried with this one, like three separate times, and I finally had to call it. It just didn’t hold my attention. It felt very repetitive, like the same conflicts and patterns playing out again without much new to keep things interesting.
I loved the first book and really liked the second, so this was a letdown for me. I kept waiting for it to pick up or surprise me, but it never really did. There are still little flashes of what made the earlier books work, but not enough to carry the story this time.
At a certain point, I realized I was pushing myself to read instead of actually wanting to, and that’s usually my sign to stop. So this ended up being a DNF for me.
Overall, not a bad idea, just not enough freshness to keep me invested. I’m officially out with this one.
