Yeaaaaaaaaaaah. I don't think that applies to the eighth SP book any more, no. (Or to the sixth and seventh, really, but compared to the eighth one, those were all still light and fluffy.)

Thanks, good to know! I have SO many books on my TBR list that I have no idea when I'll get to it, but I do intend to (or I wouldn't have bought the first one). My reading choices these days do depend a lot on my mood, and I've been reading so much YA in recent years that I'm currently generally in the mood for something else, with a handful of exceptions.
