I listened to this and finished it quite a while ago but needed time to let it sink in. It still hasn't really. There's so MUCH.
So many reveals. My eyes were bugging out. They probably still are. Though I hope they're not cos it'll look a bit weird.
The fall of the Sun Throne, Kieron, Lord Tower, Anna, Corbie - Flynn to the rescue - Quinn, Time! With a capital T. Argh.
I'm glad Anna and Rune had their talk, it was a good talk. Anna was the one character in the family I've been struggling to like, but in usual KD Edwards' fashion not all was as it first seemed and I sighed with relief.
More please, more, more, more with another rebel yell on top!

What an absolute TRIUMPH of storytelling. Just wow. The depiction of such nuanced and complex, yet universal relationships and characters is unparalleled. I am absolutely thrilled this saga is going to continue. Until then, I shall return for many rereads.

This series has so many things happening all the time. The battle against Lady Jade was intense and interesting, including the pursuit and investigation. Rune and Brand keep acquiring more resources, and everyone keeps finding out that Rune can do so much with so little (and now A Lot with his new resources) because he spent so long with next to nothing.

Favorite moment of this book:
There was a moment of deep, suspicious silence. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Brand glaring at me. He said, "You told me we wouldn't go further back than twenty-five."
"I know. No one does. I was just asking."
"Rune, hear me now. If you ever rejuvenate me to a skinny teenager with acne, and undo everything I've put my body through to get in this shape-"
"I didn't say-"
"No, I need to finish the threat, because you need to understand I would make your life a living hell."
Favorite Brand quote "This is the sort of weird shit that always happens around Rune. It's like he puts personal ads in Weird Shit magazine."

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and by extension, trilogy. I've been looking for a while for a fantasy series that feels more mature with a realized, lived in world and an interesting magic system, and The Tarot Principle brings that in spades.
Edwards's character writing is very well done (and is arguably my favorite part of his writing style). Every character feels real with motivations that make sense and are relatable. The interpersonal relationships between Rune, Brand, Addam, and by extension the rest of the cast are very fun to read, with the romantic relationship between Rune and Addam being a highlight to continue to watch evolve from the foundation that was laid in The Last Sun.
I'm very excited to see where Edwards takes the world and the characters, especially with The Eidolon on the horizon. The Tarot Principle has solidified itself to be one of my favorite series by far!
