Bleak Seasons by Glen Cook
4.0
(2nd Read)
Took a lot longer to get into this one (knowing how the siege turns out from the previous book hurts that storyline for me), but spent some time away and then came back and finished the last half in a day.
It's very strange seeing Cook try to explore all of these Southern cultures while also having his characters treat them as less than human so much of the time. Just plain frustrating as well that Blade and Mogaba have to be the big traitors while all the white characters keep their morals... Lot of problematic stuff going on to say the least.
But the mystery of Murgen being lost in time, Longshadow's origins and Catcher's schemes, Kina shifting in her sleep... incredible.
