The main flaw of this book is that it introduces tons of major plot elements 75% of the way through the series, and that would be less of a flaw if the final book delivered on those new plot elements.
This is how I felt about the last two books, really. I feel that Chekov's gun really matters to me, that people and things who will be important at the end need to be foreshadowed near the beginning, and things from the beginning that seem important need to either be important, or be discarded early. I fell completely out of the fandom upon reading TRK, and I did not trust the author enough to even start the sequel trilogy. (She already had one strike against her for totally dropping the Books of Faerie, and the second book had felt like it was completely disconnected from the first one anyway.)
