Always a love-hate relationship with a good fantasy series, the earlier books mainly.
So much death so much cruelty, so many betrayals, so many truths and lies all woven up as to make it impossible to distinguish one from the other. 

I'm happy with what happened by the end, but I'm not. I'm dreading what will come ahead. Because it is going to be dreadful that's for sure.

What's the use in giving a story synopsis for a fantasy. There's a slow-burn build-up for romance ahead. A love quadrilateral. Brutality. Mass murders. Rebellions. 

Liked the book, that's all I'll say.
