I don't have the words! This series lives up to its reputation! I was smiling one minute only to feel sick to my stomach a few pages later. The characters in this book are written so well that it rips you apart when something horrible befalls them. There are descriptions of events from this book that I can't stop thinking about! Bring on Memories of Ice!

That was a fantastic and long book (not in a bad way). It had some of the best battle scenes I have ever read as well as character insights. I certainly understood even less of this entry than Gardens of the Moon but found all the new details and reveals so interesting. It is so complex and almost every paragraph leaves you with more questions but it gives answers subtlety throughout the following pages…some…maybe!

I feel I preferred Gardens of the Moon slightly more, I really enjoyed the characters in this but not quite as much as book one. These character grew on me in all ways throughout the story whereas in Gardens of the Moon I felt they all just gripped me from the start!

Once I finish the series and reread this book it could easily jump to a higher rating and that all my opinions and thoughts will change. Plus its possible that once it has all sunk in over the next few days it might get bumped up too.

Bloody great book, bring on Memories of Ice
