This book was very evenly paced and balanced between action and build up. Characters were especially broody and reflective in this book all around. And each time you thought something was going to work out it didn’t but every time you thought it’d go wrong somehow it went right. Wild ride for sure.

This was a ride! These characters have been through the ringer! As like all the previous books in this series the list of people and locations continue to change a lot but the worlds that've been built are still interesting. The politics are still engaging and the alliances that are formed at times make you hesitant to believe they will stick. Whether they stick or fall through, a few will definitely surprise you. So many of these characters you hate to love and love to hate. 

I enjoyed most of the book but when I got a little past the half way point felt it did slog a little. Then the last 1/4 of the book I was VERY upset about a death. I had suspected it earlier in the book but then kept trying to convince myself it wouldn't happen. It did = Emotional Damage. Did enjoy most of the twists that occurred and thought they were good ways to move the story and tie certain things together. 

I think Dark Age was better but this was a great installment and have no idea what to expect with Red God.
