Rating: 4 out of 5
I recently noticed that Books 6 and 7 of this series were out, so I wanted to refamiliarise myself with the previous volume and then jump to those two. Reading it again, I think I am drawing the same conclusions as I did the last time round: This is not the best book ever written, nor is it even a close second — what it is, however, is thoroughly enjoyable entertainment.
The characters are fun (and, more importantly, they are internally consistent), and the action is serious — admittedly, it is never very believable our protagonist and his group are in serious danger (that would terminate their literary career), but the action scenes are nevertheless a joy to read.
