After finishing this book I now like the second book more than when I first finished it. Buy I’m not changing my rating because of the frustration I felt after reading it.

The books aren’t predictable and don’t follow the expected format of heroes win out and all or a lot is good with the world. The author’s world is a really messed up place.

I learned something new after reading this series and looking up some reviews. “Progression fantasy”.

Nope. This ain’t it.

And then I learned something else new. “Grimdark fantasy”.

Ok. I see that.

Sorry. That’s all you get! I will be reading the next book which is a standalone one, “Best Served Cold”.
