Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 288390, post: 193479, member: 288390"] Finally got to read Silverborn, Nevermoor book #4, after waiting five years for it to come out. Kinda underwhelmed tbh. Everything in it pales in comparison to book #3. The stakes are a joke (it's a cozy murder mystery, and yes, the characters even mention cozy murder mysteries as a thing themselves because meta 4th wall breaking references are a thing now), the mysteries we've waited five years to get some answers to (President Wintersea? The safeguard?), nope, nothing on them. What happened to Ezra Squall? I thought he was supposed to be EVIL?! Everything bad in the first three books are his fault (except he gets outplayed by President Wintersea in book 3, but he was still to blame for it all), whereas he's almost NICE in this one! He saves the day! He helps out! He doesn't do anything evil! Can people stop defanging cool villains and making them NICE please?! I could complain for ages. It wasn't a terrible book despite my complaints, and if it had come out before book 3 I would have been perfectly fine with it. But the fact it came out after book 3, which set the bar pretty damn high, the fact it got delayed for FIVE YEARS, and the fact that we might have to wait another five or more years to get answers to questions book 3 raised, and I just ... blegh. Not worth the wait. So sad. Oh yeah, I also read A Heart Full of Hatred, the new Skulduggery Pleasant book. Anyone else feel like he's just phoning it in at this point? Valkyrie is an even bigger punching bag than ever before (which is saying something for someone who once had her head ripped off and had to put it back on) and Skulduggery himself was barely even in it at all, like an actor who was only on set for five minutes and then went home.
