So this series has been up and down for me. Book one. Smashed it. Book two and three average. Book four, the best by a mile.

overall I think I've enjoyed the journey so far.

Swords and sorcery with demons. Excellent series, with complex world building, deeply layer characters, and plot twists galore.

A lot of fighting, a lot of battles, which are not my thing. But the plot did go in unexpected directions and I am invested in the main characters. On to the last book!

So I read book 1 and now I read book 4. Yeah whatever. Not bad if you like a vaguely Napoleonic military fantasy with demons. Really didn't do much for me. I liked some of the characters and the magic system was interesting. But I don't particularly like the world. Or the focus on the military. This would have worked better for me as a caper book, perhaps something less apocalyptic. But it read a lot faster than I expected.
