This book has two parts: 75% is adventuring around, 25% is crazy intense action. I loved the 25%, but 75% was alright. It felt a lot like a bridge from the first two books into the wider world of the later books. I don’t know exactly how to feel about it, especially the ending which was very unexpected. Overall, still good, still keeping on with the series.

This series so far is consistently great. The world building, the conflict, the characters—all fascinating.
