There are some interesting concepts in this book, specifically Aurox is quite interesting especially him being imbued with Heath's soul. As a character with internal conflict, he's pretty intriguing, and it's always nice to see Heath again.
Shaylin is also fascinating. I think it's weird that the author's cured her blindness, though.
I think the issue is that the series is SO overloaded and bloated now that interesting concepts aren't enough. Because why is Shaylin here? Everyone in our primary cast already knows that Neferet is EVIL. I understand that Shaylin is basically a short-cut to tell us who is good and who is evil and whether an evil person is turning good or a good person is turning evil, but I think she's totally unnecessary.
