It's an exciting, dynamic interlude that stands in stark contrast to the dreary
nature of everything preceding it, with the movie subsequently building to an expected
cliffhanger that seems to promise a much more entertaining final installment.
I'll probably change the afterwords, then, too, as many
of them were targeted at folks who picked up the book right after it was published (for example, at the end
of Book 4, I have an apology about the
cliffhanger nature of the ending — at the time 5 wasn't available, so readers were left, er, hanging).
