It seems to me that Brandon is enjoying this series more and more as each book is completed. Deathweavers is by far the best up until now (haven’t read the last book yet). Everything just feels different in this one, like he finally found his stride. Granted, there is still a bit of repetitiveness in the quest but even the characters get annoyed with it making it more amusing than tedious. The dialog is still a bit odd when reading but the audiobook does it justice. The surplus of characters is a signature of Mull’s style and can cause readers to get a bit lost at points, but he is always quick with reminders. The ending is a bit abrupt like most of the books in this series, but it makes it feel more like a steppingstone to the end of the series rather than a full stop between each book and I kinda enjoy that. I truly love the new characters and mechanics introduced in this novel. Definitely my favorite so far.
I started off the series with low hopes. I really didn’t care for Skyraiders and the second book wasn’t too much better, but I have to admit that Books 3 and 4 make this series. They are very good.
