This was excellent. I can't recall the last time I read so much in a short space of time. I was thrilled with the story's direction and was gripped from the start. It's also interesting to see the perspectives of others in the story.

So I think I liked the 2nd book better but that I liked this book better than the first one. When it started I was disappointed that the author had decided to flashback instead of move forward with the plot. It also seemed strange to "humanize" Enevera after making readers hate her in the 2nd book. I was also disappointed to find out that there was a 4th book. I do like the series but I really thought it was going to be wrapped up in this one.
The ending was extremely abrupt. Especially because I was doing it on audio and there was a preview at the end of another book. So I thought I had another 10 minutes of listening but BAM! it just ended. It gave some closure but definitely didn't finish things.
So that's what I didn't like but there was much more that I did like. Real characters, good writing in a believable (albeit fantasy) world. Every character is distinct and none of them just come off as generic stereotypes. The series is adult but especially this book, there were graphic descriptions of sex but they didn't go on and there weren't too many of them so you never felt like the author was trying to sell books by including a bunch of sex.
So overall this is a solid fantasy series, with a cool setup and some very real characters. It hasn't blown my mind but it's good.

I put my thoughts on this one on my blog. Full of spoilers. Pretty much boiled down to way too many things I didn't care for and not enough things I did.

Being the third book of this series, felt it dragged it's feet a bit and didn't match the greatness of the first two. Talk about an amazing finish, though. Shocking, astounding, terrifying; those of us finishing it before the fourth book is released have an agonizing time to wait.
I was a little let down by the turn of personality by the main protagonist, but I'll let the author lead me; he's earned the trust with the skill and art he showed in the first two books. All in all, still a fine read.

The best book in the series and I loved the first two. In fact, probably the best book I've read since the King killer chronicles. Simply fantastic.

The third book in Brett's sage unfolds pretty much as you'd expect. I like the fact that he doesn't clearly partition the two sides as good and evil. They both have principles, and they both have agendas. Bonus points for the epic cliffhanger ending, though.

Binged it in two days.
I did skip quite a bit about Inevera. I’m glad I did because her backstory I felt add no value to the overall story.
Fluff fluff fluff.
