4.0

I liked the book, but felt that some of the events that had been talked about for a while fell short of the expectations. For instance, the plot to kill a significant character felt anti climatic considering how much it was discussed ahead of time.

This book was just amazing. Everything picked up in the last book, and this one just ran with it in the best way possible. I have to give it 4.75 because I technically didn’t like it as much as Heir of Fire, but this is definitely one of my top reads ever.
