“No fear. Only fury.” 

Jesus Christ, these books should not be as good as they are.

The experience of reading this book feels like I’ve binge watched multiple tv series seasons. It’s constant action, high stakes (kind of), but I’m a character driven reader, so I’ve missed depth in the story and world-building. It feels like author has done all the character study and world- building in the first book, and decides that it’s enough, he focuses on action. Some characters reappear, but it feels a bit out of need. You can never know who might “resurrect”, who might die, complete plot course changes happen, but it’s driven out of constant fast-paced, action-packed need of a plot. Some character’s decisions, actions contradict their main beliefs, and it also feel like it serves the plot. Reading this book literally feels like binge watching few seasons of a tv show. 

In general, it‘s entertaining, it‘s still properly grim dark, „fuck my face“ never gets old. The illustrations are beatiful. 

In my case, I‘ve lost interest few times. I‘m not a action-packed, fast-paced plot reader, so I‘m not even sure if I‘ll continue with the series.
