5.0
NB: ARC received for an honest review
This 2020 edition of "Crusade" tightens the plot and the pacing of Keith Murphy's final desperate battle to stave off Ragnarok (for a while, at least - Keith does not live in a world where there are unequivocal victories). It continues the series' blend of gritty noir and grimy supernatural, and delivers a satisfying and thematically coherent conclusion. It also manages the delicate task of making me feel like this story is complete and whole while still making me want to read more of Keith's adventures. Not always an easy balancing act, that. Good stuff!
