What a whirlwind! I was not expecting the crazy journey this book took me on, but I am not complaining. The writing throws you right in and there's a subtle climb in tension before everything erupts into bloody action, one character after another encountering absolute chaos. But then there's a tender moment or another oath being sworn and all is right with the world, even though you know no one you've grown attached to is going to live. Can't wait to start the next one!
