By far the darkest book of the series so far. One of my daughters actually exclaimed “I can’t believe that this is in a book for kids!” over a scene towards the end of the book.
Dreary and lightless, makes for a bit less of a fun read compared to the earlier books, but intriguing enough to battle through. Could’ve done without the excessive use of Foreman Flacutono shouting “midgets!” in a derogatory fashion though.
