This is up there I'm terms of next books in this series. Setting aside the two main characters

(one of them skinned someone alive)

I enjoyed this book. It definitely has it's sorry coming, but this is a situational recommendation for sure.

I am stunned and amazed at how beautifully this epic story ended. I have no words.

My only tiny complaint

is the deus ex machina at the end with the Wolf Tribe. Just the tiniedt bit more information, like proof of their existence, would have made the victory feel earned.

I absolutely love this series.

This was a great conclusion to a wonderfully epic series. My only complaint is the battle scenes started drag a bit towards the end.
