Took over 50% of this book for it to pick up. It kept repeating itself over and over too, which lengthened it more.

All the family connections didn't feel cobbled together, per se, but there's still an unbelievable, not-quite-right, quality to the family tree. That, and it was painfully obvious who was a descendant of whom long before the reveal. However, for that, the book gets a pass from me, because it's for kids.

Overall, I struggled a bit through this one due to how repetitive it was, and it didn't seem to advance the series.
