I love being on this adventure, it has a perfect mix of light-heartedness and darkness without being hopeless. I find the characters intriguing if not all likable, and I find them nuanced. None of the POV characters were a chore to follow. Even if I don't like them all, it wasn't boring and definitely worthwhile. I guess it always helps when the chapters are on the shorter side. There were teeny tiny bits that I could have done without, but in the grand scheme of things, they are inconsequential and merely nit-picky (like I still don't care for the term "thought-cage" lol). Clearly, none of it ruined my overall experience. I'm very much looking forward to The Fury of the Gods.

The writing, however was definitely more developed from the second book, and I enjoyed and found it a little easier to read.
Overall pretty good.

If I do not find Orka alive and well in the third book I will riot! That is a promise!

I LOVE this series so far, it has it all: Incredible fight scenes, a weaving of an intricate plot, and heartfelt relationships. I was really glad to get a few more perspectives this time. Especially from the "villains" of this story. That was truly interesting and entertaining. One of the reasons why I liked those perspectives so much was that you get to see the "hero's" in a light that is not so flattering. Especially with Elvar, but I do hope that she comes to the realization that it's not someones ancestry or the blood that flows through somebody's veins that makes up their character, but it's the decisions that they make.
This makes me hungry to read more John Gwynne!
