I don't think I will ever stop thinking about this book in particular. It is a stunning conclusion to the Realm of the Elderlings series. Seeing characters from all of the preceding trilogies (and the chronicle) coming together in ways I couldn't have predicted was *chef's kiss*. The "end" of Fitz and Beloved's tale is bittersweet but perfectly fitting.

Having read 16 of them (totaling well over 4 million words I believe) I obviously found them well worth the read. However I do find her style often directionless and meandering, I get the sense she writes through discovery without going through and doing the editing needed to make these tighter stories.
I feel the repetition of certain plot elements just lead to my frustration without moving the story or the character development forward at all.
But also there was so much in this book to love, so many characters and settings I've been wanting to see either again or for the first time. All in all it was a very fitting conclusion to the RoTE series but I just couldn't love it.
