This was good fun.

Lots of shootouts and a great last showdown. Loved the maim character and his relentless journey of revenge.

This was nuts.

Very intrigued about the 'other world' and how the truck stops are connected to it. 

Dom is sick and I hope I learn more about his past, Birdie is a complete mystery and I wanna know her game.

The man in the floral shirt is very intriguing and is defo hiding something - he's also kinda creepy. 

Love that there is a detective story running parallel to the main one. Hoping there's more of that in the next ones.

Also who/what is the bear?!

Will defo pick up the next volume when I find it.

This was incredible.

The tension and the buld up in the book was insane and after the first act I flew through this right until the end.

These books are such good fun - this one was not as good as the first but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is a world I want to keep coming back to so I'm gonna pause this series now and come back to it after something a bit darker...

This book was goooood a mixture of skyrim, witcher and eragon. 

A fantastic magic system and one of the coolest kills I've ever read in a fantasy book.

Very excited for the next one!
