Had this due to a deal on audible... did not realise it was the fourth book in a series... thus had no idea what was going on...

BUT

I ended up listening to the whole thing on a sleepless night, and it was better than I expected it to be- for a book(+author) I'd never heard of (with one of *those* covers...) and a plot I was out of the loop for- so honestly I was pleasantly surprised and glad I had it that night.
