Dark Age

A stellar beginning and ending held back only by a stalling middle. This book took me a long time to finish due to losing momentum in the middle and getting caught up in other books so the fact it is still getting 4.5 stars from me is testament to the highs that this novel reaches. The author continues to excel in detailing fight scenes, which is handy because these 800 pages are full of them! The use of Mustang's narration was a pleasant surprise and resulted in some of the most thought-provoking chapters. The ending sets up the next entry in the series perfectly and I will certainly be coming back for more.
