4.25

Actual Rating: 4.25 for now…. I feel like I need time to think 

No spoilers! 

The first half of this book was slow for me and then bad things started happening and I was mad enough that I almost put the book down, but I didn’t let myself do that because if I did, I wouldn’t ever finish the series and I love this series. 

The second half made me give this a higher rating because of the faster pacing and because of a specific chapter. Chapter 30, A Fetid Pool, you know what you did. I was a mess to put it lightly and I was incredible moved emotionally. Michael continues to make me cry multiple times for each of his books. So yeah, not my favorite in the series, it might actually be my least favorite, but I still loved a lot of it. 

Read this series if you like reading about: 

Classic fantasy, elves with magic, dwarves, talking trees, gods, hidden identities, dragons, sacrifice, friendship, disability rep, women leaders & some great romantic relationships.
