7th book in the series, I was starting to get a bit too tired of the same sort of jokes to read the books after this one. It was well written but the story line was getting a bit boring. If I continued reading this series now starting with rereading this one, I would probably enjoy it a lot more. I'm sure that as long as I take a significant break between books, worn out themes will be less of a problem.

I stopped at Crewel Lye which I hated. For those unfamiliar with series, look for individual novels. I am only usiing this editions to record my Have books.
