4.0

A strong ending (eventually- there's a lot of random sailing about internally pontificating first) to a solid series. I liked the turn toward dealing with trauma- especially but very much not only for Jovis - and the gentle emphasis on negotiation as being as important as swordplay. Overall, would defo recommend the series, even if a bit of tigter editing would not have gone amiss at times .
