My heart is heavy. There was no other way for this to end. 

 

Coming from Dark Age this book was abit of a let down. I loved Dark age, with all its brutality but light bringer was softer. There are so many character moments I loved in this. But for quite a bit of the book it felt as if we were going nowhere. 

There were the epic battles, one duel scene I loved but looking back on the book as a whole, the characters were stuck in places. Granted, they needed to be, but I was always waiting for more. 

The beginning of Lyria storyline felt dropped, and I wondered why I followed her through it all for it to come to nothing. 

 

I am one of the rare people who love Lysander. I find him interesting and while his story for the most part of this book was meh, by the end I was screaming at him. 

 

The strong points of this book are the villains. I love Atlas.  Volga grandad. Incredible characters. 

 

And Cassius. Oh I loved his arc from the first book to now. He's become one of my favourites. 

 

The ending is what is strong in this book. The whole beginning was leading up to this point and I can't wait for the next book.
