After feeling slightly let down by its predecessor, I decided to pick up For the Throne to close out the series. It's not that I didn't like the last book, it just seemed to get too caught up in its own mythology and not reach much in the way of resolution. This book, full of payoff without being gratuitous. The look at what makes us a hero or a villain, and characters redemption arcs, twinned with fantastical tree imagery. Le sigh. Also Neve is damn decisive, even when things aren't going her way, and I like that in a character. Interesting addition of creatures from folklore like the Weaver and the Leviathan.   I feel satisfied having read the second book and closing it out as a duology.
