I did enjoy this one, but it feels a bit spread out and not as focused and good as most other books in the series, some of the stories were more enjoyable than others, so it was a bit much of speeding through the less enjoyable ones to get to the good bit, after the half way point that started to get better though, and it wasn't really an issue anymore.
