Three books into the series, and there are still minor, distracting editing errors, e.g., page 43 refers to "Ender Peals" instead of "Ender Pearls".
This book takes Steve into new biomes, and I liked the premise of Steve competing in an invitation-only building contest. I even found the series of battles rather exciting! Unfortunately, any fresh new ideas that would have led me to a higher star rating were cancelled out by the blatant recycling of the main conflict in the second book. Specifically, a griefer is causing a lot of trouble, and everyone is blaming Steve. His friends defend him, but he needs to figure out who the real griefer is in order to clear his name.
Overall, a fitting continuation of the series. The take-away lesson in this installment seems to be, "It's too bad if things don't work out for you, especially if they do work out for your friend, but try not to begrudge your friends their successes, and instead, try to be happy for them."
