Balefire by Jordan L. Hawk
4.0
This is perhaps the weakest in the series (although it does well at positioning the characters where they need to be going into the Final Climax in the last book), but it still gets 4 stars because, I'm sorry, this series is brilliant.
It also features a quote that deserves to be commemorated because never have I felt so seen in any novel:
I hesitated, but it had to be said. "If I start to sound a bit megalomaniacal, please forgive me."
Her eyes shone. "You're the greatest arcane vortex that has ever existed. I understand."
I winced. "Er, perhaps, but I'm really just a fellow who gets paid to translate what other people find. I ordinarily try to save my insane ranting for grant proposals."
Me too, Whyborne. Me too.
