Every inch forward in progress that the heroes make feels like it's instantly wiped out in a hail of horrible and hopelessness. It's still that solid Farland writing that has been consistent throughout the series, but it also feels a bit like this series has veered into "Hold my beer" territory. An interesting story premise heavy with plot armor to make it go... not bad, just not great.
