Maybe! I think this is the sort of book where you have to get into a groove and just keep going.
This series is so frustrating. I've lived with these books in my head for so long that I feel compelled to keep going to the bitter end, but at this point I'm almost certain that it really will be a bitter end - doubtless they'll save the world, but I can't imagine that the route the story takes to get there will be satisfying.
And I really think Carmody shot herself in the foot by repeating so insistently that Elspeth will never return to Obernewtyn. There are lots of great things about the story, but Obernewtyn is the heart of it.
