I will read anything this man writes about Darrow of Lykos. Worldbuilding just never stops being incredible, and the characters pull you in in ways you don’t even expect (though the weakest is probably Lyria who never seems to quite find her voice). The only bummer is that this book is basically one big Battle of Mercury, and the war scenes can feel tedious and like a slog to get through, though they almost always end in INCREDIBLE cliffhangers or plot twists that I have literally never been able to predict

Hello CLONE of the Jackal!!? “I shoot Alexander in the head”!!!! CASSIUS is back to rescue Darrow?!!

. I was GRIPPED!! Felt long af, but day after day all I wanted to do was get in bed and read my book. I can’t wait to see how this series ends
