SAO volume 26 read:

This was a book about Kirito fighting mysterious rebels in Underworld while Silica and Sinon fight a wasp nest in Unital Ring.  It was basically pure fighting from beginning to end, which to me is quite boring because we all know the heroes will win -- this isn't a series that regularly kills off characters, so there's no threat to anyone involved.

I'd say the best part of the novel was the opening color illustration of Asuna, Alice and other girls in a big public bath.  Boy are they pretty.  But that's hardly any credit to Reki Kawahara.  At least Ronie has now been revived, so maybe next book will be better.
