I'm very appreciative of how Schwab keeps track of consequences from past books and follows through on them. Wounds, especially emotional ones, don't heal overnight and play an important role in character reactions and decisions.
I thought the plotting for this book was excellent and I loved getting to see so many players from all three worlds. I also think the ways each character arc ends is quite good; I don't have any gripes about it. In fact, I really like that the end acknowledges that distance does not break certain bonds.
