The last entry is a bit of a let down. The plot suffers from the newfound fast travel ability of everyone, and the size of the different warbands makes little sense at the end. 

Corban is even blander than in the previous books, and a lot of characters turn into caricatures (Lykos most of all). It's still relatively fun, as an example of a book who is taking its tropes very seriously, but by the last 20 chapters I was looking forward to it being over. Maquin and Camlin are definitely the redeeming characters in this book.

The choice of POV characters is baffling too. Haelan is one, but Edana isn't? Why?

A gut-wrenching, tear-jerking, heart-breaking, and awe inspiring conclusion to what will go down as one of my favourite series of all time.

If ever there was a “next Game of Thrones” this should be it.

Truth and courage.

4 stars for both the book and the series. Did not quite reach the magic of malice but was way better than Ruin.
It does show a bit, imho, that this was the author's first series and for that it's phenomenal. Bought the followup series, looking forward to it.
