Review: Good, but not the best

I have been a big fan of all these books and was really excited when I saw this had come out.  This story is more split up between characters and not so much about Azerick.  Elyssa figures heavily into this book and while some of her parts are really good, others just gave me "blah" feeling.  Like some of the other reviewers have stated, this book lacks any real development of the plot until the last 7% of the book.  That last 7% had me excited while reading like the rest of them, and the ending and epilogue were great.I expect the series to now continue as it previously had, with everything somewhat resolved.  You could almost consider this a Sorcerer's Path Novella instead of a new book in the series.  I hate to say that because it makes you think it is not worth buying, or might be held negatively.  That isn't the case,I would still recommend this as it has plenty of great scenes and gives you a better background of what is going on, and where the series is headed.  It just didn't have the same feel as the rest of the series, and doesn't really advance Azerick's character much at all.I would probably give this 3 1/2 stars.  I also am eagerly awaiting the next installment.  Sometimes a series that has done so much needs a filler book to get everything set up for the last few.
