Up until this point the series was very solid. Book 8 made me want to stop reading Amulet because the whole concepts here feel very rushed and not introduced organically making no sense after the first read. Really the worst book of this series feels less coherent and grounded as like the others with the introduction of new planets and a space program we somehow needed to have? I am not sure if i will read the book 9 thanks to this unenjoyable volume.
