why ???


Corban's reaction after Meical revelation was really not the better one limit childish now it will feels like if Corban had abandoned.

It's going from simple a tale of honor and good vs evil to a tale of vengeance and retribution (with storm death and probably others)

I haven't read the next book yet, but I would have preferred a simpler end. Hope I'm wrong tho.

This book is aptly titled as it absolutely ruined me. Quite an emotional journey. Well-written fighting scenes. Fabulous character development.

Best book of the series so far, and where the plot finally diverges from its (well-executed) use of typical fantasy tropes. Incredible character development, propulsive story, and a great balance of hope and despair. Excited to finish this series off.
