Wavered a bit on the rating for this one, but in the end just couldn't justify a 5. Nothing really wrong with it, but it took me a while to read which is a sure sign that it was less than compelling reading.
Dal continues to progress, and the final battle with the Star is still in the offing, but I feel that this story should be over by now and my attention is beginning to wander. These are not short books, and after 6 of them I'm expecting some resolution.
As of the end of this, Dal looks to be about half-way, powerwise, to being able to win against his semi-nemesis. I can't do another 4-6 books to end this; we'll see what book 7 has to offer.
