Good book, but too much happens in it. It's especially true to one of the POV characters, Gwenna, who's over and over again facing a life-threatening challenge, and by the end of the book, these challenges just don't have the same weight in the story.
For me this book was just too grimdark, but I did enjoy the book for its POV characters. I think how the book explored Bien's and Ruc's faith, and how it affected their relationship was fascinating.
