Still not reaching the heights of the original series, and it was very messy and muddled. However, it wasn't as directionless as Resurrection, and the last half was quite fun. It still came at the cost of what had been set up in the previous book though. Where the original series had an exciting plot that felt purposeful, this new phase seems to be running on steam already. If this had been edited a bunch it could have been something really good, but as it is it's confused, unsure of itself, and I'm not even sure it needs to exist.
