Review: Confounding...
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 18, 2012
I am in the same boat with many of the other reviewers -- I LOVED the first two, but this third book is... well, confounding.  Although there are lots of new plot threads and twists, very little in the way of resolution, world-building, or character development actually happens in this book.  As another reviewer points out, this book seems more like a bridge between books 2 and 4 than a book in its own right.  I hope book 4 weaves the threads together.
