I liked this one. It's probably a 4.5, but I'm in a good mood today. Anyway, there was less Lesser b.s. and it made a huge difference. I really liked Manny and Payne and I'm interested to see what happens with Zcor, although I'll probably come to hate him in futre books, although I have this weird feeling he might fall in love with someone eventually that will force a change in tactics, but who knows....
