This is perfection.
At least for me. I know these books have flaws and are not for everyone. But for me, every single book in the series is uniquely perfect on its own. And the series is one of my all-time favorites already. I want to read book 5 immediately, but I'm also not ready yet to let these characters go. None of them, especially after this book.
It's so hard to talk about this book without spoilers. Just know that what it did was so important to me. And I don't think it has been done in any other epic fantasy series before, where a group of people has to work together. It focuses so much on each and every character, main and supporting ones, as well as their relationships to each other. I used to joke that this book is one big group therapy session... but there is nothing to joke about because that is exactly what it is. And this theme is woven through the whole plot, and it's accentuated through the narrative structure. And the ending? OMG, that hit SO hard. I can't believe how perfectly the small details fit together. I am in awe of Jenn Lyons.
