Fall of the Argosi by Sebastien de Castell

Whoa.
I've read the entire Spellslinger series and the first book in this duology, but this is by far the best book out of all of them. Maybe I like it so much because I've always liked Ferius the most, and in this book you really see her come into her own, but I also think it just has a really strong story.
Everything about this book was amazing. I had a hard time putting it down, honestly. The antagonist is incredibly threatening and there's a dark atmosphere in the whole book. But unlike the first one, I didn't think it ever went too dark. I still mostly remember being miserable reading the first book in this duology because everything was so terrible for Ferius. I don't think I'm very likely to reread it because of that reason, and I don't have the same feelings about this book at all.
The relationship between Ferius and Rosie is SO GOOD. It almost makes me want to reread the spellslinger series to see their interactions as adults in a new light. So. Good. I loved them so much. I also love how explicit it was made, as I feel like a lot of the fans of the original series ignored or didn't notice the romance between them. Now it's impossible to miss.
All in all, honestly a masterpiece IMO.
