Quick and fine read as usual, with less of a plot than the last book. I've also noticed in the past few entries of this series that there's not much in the way of character development. I remember really enjoying the first few books where we got to see the brotherband come into their own. Now that they have, it seems like everything just works out for them and their dynamics haven't really changed at all. The adventures themselves are fun to read about, but they don't really offer anything else.
