Coming in and reading book 23 in the series without touching any of the previous books...Not sure if this had any impact on my review of this book. I felt like the overall story kept me intrigued, but I didn‘t like 1) the book seemed really stretched out and longer than necessary 2) the psychic aspect of some characters was unbelievable 3) not much happened for a 500 page book because of alllll the descriptions. Found myself skimming near the end!
