A bit of a strange in between book that doesn't add too much.

This was a weird installment. This added a lot of unnecessary and confusing information to the overall story of the series. This one was about Harkat about finding out about who he was. This was strange, they went to a strange world to find Harkat soul. It was interesting and action packed but it made that world so much more confusing.

Spoiler

How is Herkat Kurda Smahlt it makes no sense. What is Mr. Tiny and why is he a thing?

THANK GOD THAT BOOK IS OVER !

i started reading that book almost a month ago, i just couldnt finish it. i had days when my fingers ached to turn pages but the moment i remembered the series i was reading, the feelings passed.

i'm gonna say: i hate this serious. everything is dragged out and the only thing thats good about the book is the ending chapter. ugh. almost finished with the series !

What an adventure this book takes us on! That ending reveal was insane!

I did NOT expect Harkat’s true self to be Kurda. The way Mr. Tiny made that happen is wild!

This is my least favorite installment so far. We learned a little bit about some characters and a possible outcome of the war, but other than that, this was almost all filler.
