So so.
The beginning hints of something obscure and intricate.
The ear stories are pretty engaging and the lawsuits add a bit of spice.

This could easily be a pretty good short story, as a book is ok-ish

Feels a little «weak» compared to the rest of the series (up until this one; haven't read the last one yet).

I feel the «meta» part of the story doesn't go too well with the rest of the book; I enjoyed it anyways and can't wait to hang some more with the group
