This story begins at the end. The heroes won, the earth was saved and life moved on. Until it didn't. While on the surface, it feels like a straightforward adventure fantasy, this book explores a lot of complex themes, such as grief, ptsd, death, incompetent government and how we treat our heroes. I very much enjoyed the read, but would have love to have had some of the world explored in more detail. I also have a big question about the ending that I will have to research!
