While there were a lot of exciting elements to the story and I really enjoyed diving more into the history and legacies of the characters and the world... I felt that it was a bit messy and all over the place. In some places, I felt the story dragged.
The constantly changing POV and storylines was, at times, difficult for me to follow... the book has A LOT of plot!
Overall, I enjoyed the book. But it didn't live up to my expectations. I still appreciate the world building and creativity that has gone into this book and think it was a fine conclusion to this part of the story...

800+ pages that went by in the blink of an eye. The tension was not as high as in Kingdom of Ash, but the "downtime" between tense moments were well paced and placed. We contine right where we left of in book 2 and switch among a view of the main characters. It took me about 100 pages to get used to the swift cuts between the individual characters but by that point the story had hooked me again and the swift change ensured that you always went back to the action quickly (in KoA the gaps between tense moment in a character's chapter were much longer; personally I did not mind that and it added to the tension and the feeling of "I can't put this down" while reading). As usual, these 800 pages pack a few surprises but also laughs and a great hose of characters.fairytalefootnotes's review against another edition
