A Reaper at the Gates

This is my favorite book in the series by far! I think Helene is my favorite character! She is brilliant, loves her people and ready to make sacrifices for the benefit of many. I think the biggest strength of this series has been the constantly turning plot. There's always a new development, a new wrench thrown into the best plans, that the characters have to find a solution to. This book was non stop action, betrayals, reveals, and heartbreak.

Finding out Cook is Laia's long lost mother, sad part of the story, but a neat piece to tie things together as well. We get inside the Nightbringer's head and what object is the last piece of the Star. Elias now fully embracing his role as Soul Catcher, ugh a bit sad. How will this series end?
