What a finale. These books grew in stakes and ambition with every installment, but as the scope rose, so did it’s insight and emotional poignancy. The growth of these characters we love (along with some equally loveable and interesting new addition) is beautiful and profound, and Locklands made me tear up several times, including in its acknowledgement. Robert Jackson Bennett has a truly incredible mind for character, worldbuilding, and fantastical systems, and he inspires with a truly beautiful vision for a brighter future.
