I absolutely adored Foundryside and while Shorefall had some pacing issues, it was still a great book. But this book. This finale. Absolutely fantastic.
It took me a little bit to get into because I read Shorefall about 2 years ago AND this book takes place 8 years after the end of Shorefall. As soon as I figured that out, I was fully invested. Getting back to these characters, this world. Robert Jackson Bennett writes such a complex world with one of the most unique magic systems I've ever encountered, and these complicated characters that you can't help but love. There were so many aspects to this finale that played out so perfectly. I laughed, I cried, and while I figured out one mystery, there was something in some final reveals that I didn't see comint at all. This is the kind of finale that I truly love.

Every time I think it has to be ending, has to get better, things get more dire.
This series has made me live and die at the same time. I CANNOT!
But this last book is the one that drove the dagger home.
The despair of it all. The struggle to be the one left standing at the end.
And the heartbreak I experienced at the end of it all.
If not for the fact that I was out in public, I would have cried.
I fear that I’m making no sense, so I will leave it at that.
