Edit 6/2023: Finally conquered. It's a difficult book to get through but continues to be excellent writing and character work. I'm traumatized but ready for Light Bringer to maybe have a little more hope. Ended up liking Eph and Lyria's POVs a lot more this time around.

Slogged through to about the DoRD and then had to throw in the towel. This installment was just long and punishing and had none of the spark of the other four books. I liked the Mustang POV but the other characters just couldn't hold me this time around.
