Wow that was a lot. I feel like I got lost in the details a lot of the time. Getting confused about characters with similar names since there were so many. But it was interesting to see how Darrow grew and changed and learned, the friends he acquired, and the strategies implemented. I was a bit disappointed at tge ending. I wish he would have chose the 3rd instead to pledge loyalty to. Anyway it was an interesting story though long and complicated in the details and history
