Just all the content warnings apply. Earns the title Dark Age. Solid book and well written but overall not a fun time.

Even as audio, I found this to be a massive slogfest. Thought the intertwining plots were much less compelling than earlier installments, the characters difficult / impossible to root for, and the overall storyline incredibly convoluted. Really missed the mark and lacked the spark of the original trilogy.
