An extremely fitting ending, the series maintains it's strength of very strong, complex character relationships.
 The Long Price Quartet definitely sticks the landing. A very unique conflict in this one, following the events of An Autumn War. Very different antagonist than the last 2, and quite well done as well, as generally the antagonists of the series are one of it's main strengths. 

I do think book had reaction from society, and people generally to previous events that felt kind of weird to me, especially in combination of a reaction to something later in the book. I guess possible, but to me an entire nation didn't have a certain reaction to past events, that I think a substantial portion of people would have.

This was one of my 5-star predictions, and ultimately did not live up to those lofty expectations, but I can comfortably say that all 4 books in The Long Price Quarter are in my opinion very good. If you want to read a slower paced character driver fantasy series, this should be on the list.

8.6/10
