I got through this book because I have a general policy of not giving up halfway through. The story has great promise and could be very intriguing. However, somehow I could not stick with reading more than a couple of pages at a time because I immediately got bored. There are sudden jumps in time, the characters lack emotional depth and thought and the constant POV-switching would be ok if it led to more depth in character - instead it’s just annoying. Very disappointing, because with better writing it could be fantastic.… (mais)

A solid finish to this trilogy. Still, I felt like all the threads didn't quite come together on this one. Lots of unfinished business, and some business addressed almost as an afterthought (can we say epilogue?) There was no slow build to a story climax, just lots of action in different places that sort of came together in unrealistic and convenient ways. This installment had a lot of action, but lacked anything resembling character depth, which is the most important part of a story to me.

Despite the negatives, the prose flows well and the story is a good one. It's definitely worth a read.

Truly a wonderful read. I kept expecting it to fall flat because it tends to follow some fairly typical arcs but it kept me entirely captivated. I am very much looking forward to the next book.

Where to begin with this book. Have been searching these past few months for a fantasy book to sweep me up and take me away. I didn't think I would find one, and then here comes this book recommended by a top list for 2020 and BOY WHERE THEY RIGHT.

This hits every fantasy note I've been longing for, reminding me of beloved fantasy books I have loved in the past with entirely new twists and original plots. The world building is just the right amount. The grittiness balanced, the story keeps reeling me in. And the villains. OH I hate them (So good).

Anyway, if you've been trying to find a good Fantasy book while exiling yourself for the good of the realm during the plague, GET THIS BOOK. AND THEN ALL OF THEM. ALL THE BOOOOKS.
