![]() ![]() The use of multiple POV characters might have contributed to my problems - having spent 5 (and most of the next) inside Atticus’ head, spending as much of this book outside of it gives added distance to those events not from Atticus’ POV in a way it wouldn’t have if we’d been bouncing between Atticus’ and Granuaile’s viewpoint from the beginning. In the end, I think Hearne tried to do too much in too little space, hurting the overall book - think Spider-Man 3. I’m not going to be one of those, I really want to be - I spent most of the novel thinking I would be - but in the end, I have to settle with a 4-star. The last two lines of his retelling should earn him a few more. If there’s any justice left in this world, Hearne’s inclusion of a 3 page “The Story so Far” recounting the main events from every book in the series should earn him many 5 star ratings, it’s something that more people should do.
