Last Argument of Kings

What an ending! I won't get too far into this review because I will be doing a full series review soon on my YouTube channel.

This series really went in a direction I didn't expect grimdark to go in. I'm relatively new to the subgenre, and I always assumed it was all blood and gore and dark themes. While there was some of that, this story was overall just really hopeless. I appreciated the way this story wrapped up in some ways because it really hammered home that this story was hopeless from the beginning and doesn't really get better. But for that same reason, it almost felt like I read a whole lot of pages for there to not really be much of a resolution. I'm torn on my feelings for it. Overall, these are incredibly written books. But I mostly feel apathetic upon finishing.
