Yet again, Turner has written an enthralling, entertaining story that's basically just about two men walking for days on end. But there's so much more: the insight into what Kamet really thinks about the Attolians, the hints at Eugenides's sly plans (never fully revealed until the end, of course), the myths and customs to provide depth to the story.

I have no idea how to explain why I love this series so much, but I'm sad and excited to finish the series with the next book. As always, excellent narration by Steve West.

 1/11/20 (5):  "I love kamet he's literally just an accountant" - https://costis.tumblr.com/post/636358175454576641/i-love-kamet-hes-literally-just-an-accountant

10/21/20 (4): I get the feeling these are all going to be 5 stars when I reread them. Actually it's going to be hard to stop myself from immediately rereading the whole series. It's all so well constructed and you get information at the end that changes everything. Even just having read book 1 and some of book 2, book 1 felt completely different the second time. And after the rest of the series? Wow #1 and #2 are going to be mind blowing.

10/20/20: It's a 4 I think. Idk, I have a lot of emotions right now
