Once again, I loved the Royce and Hadrian POVs and found myself not caring much for any of the other POVs.  They're super important to the story (especially in terms of the bigger picture laid out by the original trilogy), and it wasn't that I disliked reading about any of them, but I just have a special fondnes for Royce and Hadrian and wanted to get back to what all was going on with them.

Seeing the rise of Riyria has been an absolute joy.  I am eagerly looking forward to continuing with these books.
