!!THE BEST RIYRIA BOOK!!

I'm still reeling with emotions. My heart can't take much more! Thank goodness the volumes come with two books, because that ending has me foaming in the mouth to carry on to the next book.

This book was glorious. Written to perfection. So what the fluff was up with the last one, [b:The Emerald Storm|55991397|The Emerald Storm (The Riyria Revelations, #4)|Michael J. Sullivan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1606070087l/55991397._SX50_.jpg|10840700]? That one made me shudder so bad that I didn't want to carry on. I have a fear of books with ships in them, and now it seems all the books I see have ships.

Let's focus on the good stuff. Oh, these characters! So beautiful. Sullivan has such a wonderful character development talent. I do forget the characters, and I'm grateful for the glossary in the back.

The story is really boiling to a climax. The characters are moving quickly and wrapping up loose ends while finding little new ones. Michael Sullivan is a bit long winded, but his story that he's put together is getting better as we enter the final stretch. I feel the desperation of the world. This is a nice continuation to the world of the Ryrian group, I wish it had a bit more of a traditional structure, it felt like it ended twice. Still, I liked it.

Thankfully a big step up from the last entry, almost considered dnfing the series but it drew me back in great chapter of the story
