Thoroughly engrossing, full of twists and an interesting take on magic systems. Roth's flawed characters with sharp edges and unresolved trauma sing, exploring the complexities of being a hero after your adventure ends - and then what happens when you're asked to do it again.
I did guess the character-based plot twists (I felt they were pretty obvious) but not the worldbuilding-based ones.
