Wow. I was enjoying this read, but that ending was on point. I loved all the plot twists. As well as the much anticipated confrontations and the dreaded yet still unexpected heartbreak. I thought this was a simple farm boy chosen one type story. I have been corrected. It's not a perfect series but I'm fully invested now.
I can't wait to read the final book and I'm a little disappointed there's only one more. This series feels like it could easily be bigger and longer. That might not be a popular opinion but...
I like big books and I can not lie. You other readers can't deny. When a book walks in with itty bitty text and a mound of pages your you face you get sprung 🎶

Epic endings and secrets revealed, another fine entry into the John Gwynne catalog.
While I really enjoyed certain plot points, this books pace was extremely slow. But, when this book shines it really shines. All the battles are epic, and I really enjoyed the deepening of Maquin and Fidele's relationship. Speaking of Maquin, can that character just catch a break, please?!
I will return to this series to finish, however, I feel the need to take a break.
