The Emperor's Sword by Andrew Klavan

5.0

REALLY highly enjoyed this one. Culminated all of the best elements and loose threads into a prolonged climax for the series that worked beautiful. Shockingly better than the previous two by a significant degree.

In the first book everything seemed like obvious set-up despite its self-contained arc. The story of both worlds was good, but the IRL stuff was slightly more interested.

In the second book everything was really slowed down due to it being in the middle - middle book syndrome and all. Really great moments but overall slightly bland. The IRL stuff was still the highly, where the other stuff somewhat dragged.

This final book had everything at its best including some incredible thematic symbolism in some very cool scenes that were honestly incredibly bold decisions that I highly respect.
