Query: Filler

While you get a tidbit or two of backstory out of this novel, you can pretty much skip it and not lose anything much. The main character of this book gets pretty much discarded in the next (or the one after?) one.The main characters only make cameo appearances and it may interest you (it was a boring read for me), it has absolutely no bearing on the rest of the series.This was merely a filler for book 8, and nothing more. The writing wasn't so hot either. It was almost as if it was another author. Don't let this book dissuade you from reading the ones after.
