I loved and hated this book...
And yet, I'm dying to read it again.

Feels.
So many feels.
Took me longer than expected to read this book, but as I am writing this at 2am after blasting through the entire second half of the book in one sitting, it’s pretty obvious that the slowness was due to a reading slump rather than being a comment on the book’s quality.
Didn’t cry this time. Got really REALLY close, though. Teared up real bad. Yelled a few times.
...maybe more than a few times...
...dammit Michael.
Amazing book. 5/5. Look forward to the next. Definitely right up there with my favourite series.
Also, this book is a breeding ground for theories.
So. Many. Theories.
...dammit Michael.
Go read this book. Read the series. Wallow in the feels. You won’t regret it.

This series is really taking off. There are a couple reasons Michael J Sullivan is my favorite fantasy author, and they are highlighted in this book.
1. Characters- Rule number one for me when reading a book is that I have to care about the characters. This book is 5 stars because of Suri, Roan, Gifford, Raithe, Persephone and at least another 5. Amazing characters, and characters that I genuinely care about.
2. Book length- I have no problem reading a 1,200 page book, and actually enjoy it. But don't write 1,200 pages if the book could be done in 600 pages. Michael J Sullivan writes what the story needs and not more. There is no "Yea the first 300 pages were a little dry, but it picked up from there".
Fantastic book. Fantastic series. Not as good as Revelations, but dang it is getting there and I never thought it would be possible. There would be a lot more good books in the world if all authors were like Mr. Sullivan.
