I was struggling in what to rate this one.
At times, it felt like we were retreading waters, some of the old tropes coming up. That is bound to happen in such a magnificently epic series, focused really around a single character.
Another capture, another injury, more loss, all for an empire that does not seem to deserve him.
That ending though pulled it all together, I suspect people will have mixed feelings about it, but for me, it moved it up.
It has been rare that a (at this time 6) book series of this complexity and depth has held my attention the entire time, but this one has. I have been unable to put it down and do not care that I am not going to get any sleep, starting book 6 immediately.
