It takes me ages to get through one of these, but I LOVE them. These are soooo interesting and contain myriads of characters and places and storylines and ugh. Can’t wait to read the next one.

This is the book that makes the previous two worthwhile. It's great to see returning characters in their new roles, the pacing is much better, the plot while still complex finally feels like things make sense rather than just being a convoluted jumble of unnecessary parts; it's just an all around excellent book.
If you still aren't really into the series after this one, you might as well stop here cus this is probably the best book of the bunch except the very last one, imo.

Erikson out here just casually delivering another awe inspiring finale like nobody’s business.
