What a whirlwind of a book. I enjoyed the perspective of other characters sprinkled in, as we were able to see inside more characters' heads. The stakes were VERY high, and the loss was great, so the victory didn't feel too easy and there was still a cost to it. I'm glad Kell, Lila, and Emery had to leave Arnes to find a way to defeat Osaron, as it broke up the plot and gave us a new setting. Enjoyed that Ned had his moment to shine. Forever grateful that the romance between Kell and Lila was secondary, that it didn't dominate the plot. Same with Rhy and Emery. I love them all, and prefer my romance as more of a subplot in fantasy settings. Overall a very satisfying, bittersweet ending.
