When I first started reading this series almost 25 years ago I really liked the books. Now after all this time, the Cat Who books just seem repetitive with so many old and new characters being introduced it seems like the largest part of the story. That said, this book was a quick read and still somewhat enjoyable.

Interesting book. Storyline alright - parts are confusing in the references, if you do not understand the references the author makes than you loose parts of the storyline. Overall book very level. Sections that should be climatic are only mildly so kept expecting more drama. Never happened.
