This book works well in the context of the trilogy and the whole story it is trying to tell.

boa's review against another edition

I got 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through the book.
I had to return the book, but also, it was less about the characters and more magical but in a way that was harder for me to stay engaged.

Tried as I did, couldn’t make this book last forever.
If you are a fan of BLRW, you’ll love this book more. If BLRW rubbed you the wrong way, you’ll love this book more.
If you are a writer with your own aspirations to grandeur, please be wary, Marlon will humble you.
Best book I’ve read this year. Top five books I have read in all of my life.
