This book was so good!! Oh my god!
This has been a trend with me and MJS's series... They start off okayish imo but they get better and better as they go and oh my goodness did I love this book! I think it's my favourite of his works so far!
The character arcs were outstanding. Every single character in this volume was amazing.
I was hooked to the story the whole time! The pacing, the writing, the dialogue, the politics, the action sequences, the romances, the suspense phew! I loved everything!
The world has suddenly taken a dark turn and it just got so so epic!! I can't wait to read the next one!
Dang, every addition to this series just gets better and better. I love all of these characters so much, and this book ripped my heart out at the end. We keep expanding this world and learning more about the political machinations at work and it's all so fascinating. The plot was slower in the beginning, and then really picked up as the war started. I felt the desperation and the helplessness that so many of these characters felt. All of the character development that we got was so well formulated by Sullivan. I truly felt that all of the character arc were superb, and their emotions and decisions they made during these tough times all felt very realistic and devastating. I would recommend this series to all fantasy fans. Sullivan gets how to make you care about a character.
