Don't read this book unless you've read all of the related series, honestly with out the background the book will be so difficult to follow as there is a lot of references and cameos that occur with out additional explanation. That being said it was worth the wait, I feel like GS had a lot of fun writing this and it showed, the language is silly and fun and helps keep the book from getting too dark. The review was ridiculous, this isn't a believable book because it doesn't occur in the real world and of course we all love the inevitable grand gesture of the hero... Hello that's why I read these books it's a lovely break from reality! Great job GS, another great addition to a fantastic series!
