hanseah's review against another edition
5.0
An intense satisfying read that leaves you grasping onto a cliff-hanger ending. You better have Darkfall ready to read when you finish the last page.

I took a bit of a break between book two and three, so it took me a little bit to settle back into this world.
And oh, it does get a lot darker than it was before... Be advised this is taking a turn to the bloody and gritty and there's a lot of death. Both in vast numbers of people who are mostly used like canon fodder, and in the really painful individual deaths of important characters. So have comfort food at the ready.
I really liked how the characters grow in depth, and how their decisions and actions have long lasting effects on their own mental state as well as on the story. Morals get questioned, intentions go awry, and people change, for better or worse.
The author definitely gets better at characters with every book, so my initial complaint of characters feeling a bit bland or predictable in the first book has now been fully resolved.
A great epic tale of fighting against all the odds, with plenty of magic, fighting and action. And the best thing is how there isn't a good or bad side anymore by now, just two different sides that both do horrible things, but you can sort of get behind their thinking. I love stories that make it basically impossible to choose sides...
