Where Flap the Tatters of the King starts off where Carcosa leaves off. Bringing the entire team together for the first time since the beginning of the first book Order of the Four Sons. This one allows you to learn about some of what were tertiary characters in more depth and brings them into focus. Mainly Alyssa. While she is not the smartest apple on the tree at times, she does get the job done when she needs to. I would say the book focuses mostly on her, but it is well balanced and includes the other characters as well, orbiting in and out of her sphere especially my favorite character Christophe. Every good story needs it's rogue and this story has Christophe, he is everything a rogue should be and then some. I truly hope he makes an appearance in book 4 but I will just have to wait and see. While this is the longest O4S book yet, it doesn't feel that way, when reading it. It is more polished and seems to be a bit more grown up than the last two, all the while being set in a fairy tale setting.
