Customer Reviews
Least favorite so far; doesn't age well.
I still love this series, but this book definitely shows its age. The characterizations and descriptions of the "swamp dwellers" is ... well, politically incorrect puts it mildly. I wasn't offended myself, because I just figured it's a product of its time. That said, this is definitely not the book I'd use to introduce new readers to the series. Characterizations sometimes felt a little off to me, but that makes sense, given this is only the third book in the series. It's not a bad book; it's just not as good as the others in the series so far—at least, not to me.
