Very satisfying conclusion to this series and the Banished Lands as a whole. Although I think I became slightly fatigued with all the battle sequences here. I wanted a few more slow moments of reflection. Nonetheless, it was great. And the ending leaves a possibility of returning to this world to tell another story.

I'm really gonna miss the Banished Lands books and this world. I've had such a wonderful time. Thank you John Gwynne. TRUTH AND COURAGE!

"We are just people, all of us the same. Flawed, fragile, stubborn, angry, happy. And life treats no one differently. We are born, and we live, and then we die. It's what we do while we are here that counts. And if we can be called friend, then we are lucky indeed."
