adventurous tense fast-paced

3.5

Did I read this in the wrong order? Yes. Don't do what I did, people. Go off the original publishing order, not the English publishing order. Not that it's terribly confusing, but if, like me, you fall in love with this series, you'll kick yourself for not starting it correctly. 

Is this book pretty sexist? Hell yes. Is the third person objective perspective the most effective way to tell these stories? Maybe not. But damn did I have a good time reading this. It was paced and fun and just a good old fashioned adventure story. 

Definitely going to continue with the series and might actually give this a re-read in the correct order.
