3 star of the Themis Files books this is by far the weakest. I was about 80% through until it really picked up for me. The end, though unexpected, seemed like predictable once you read it. I know, seems like an oxymoron but makes sense in my head. I guess it seems a little trite, maybe that's the correct word. I will say I'm glad to say the ending with Mr. Burns was pleasent, it did choke me up. Here's to more adventures to come.
