So many mysteries, so much angst, no easy solutions, but also some truly epic moments. Did not disappoint.

I can't believe I was lucky enough to forget half the twists in the ending before rereading this one. What a great book. It's a slow burn, and there's a lot of different threads, but I'll be damned if I wasn't invested in the characters.
