I'm reading this series in order and I do hope that they will not get more lengthy as I go. This one had a complicated plot but it seemed way too long. I'm still enjoying the main players in the series. My issue with this book and the one preceding it is that the author spends pages and pages telling us about characters and their history and then they get dropped along the way. At the end I find myself thinking "but what happened with .........?" And to me the detailed descriptions of what roads the characters are driving on to get to their destination are unnecessary and just make the book longer without really adding anything.
