3.0

I cried my eyes out towards the end. Based on what I've read from this author before, I wasn't expecting that at all. Overall, I prefer the vibes of the first book.

At some point, I'll have to read the whole Temple of the White Rat books in the proper order (I started with the Saint of Steel trilogy, then this duology, and now I'm about to read Swordheart). (I was also disappointed that the White Rat Temple was so little mentioned here.) I think that will definitely improve my experience.
