City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett

A stunning conclusion to a fantastic series.

One of my favorite things about each book in this series is that Jackson Bennett isn't afraid to explore a theme and say something about it, and each time that theme comes together with the character's journey at the end in such a satisfying way. This book focuses on Sigrud, and all his small moments from the first two books come back and are incredibly relevant to his character in such a rewarding way.

One thing I don't think I've mentioned in my previous two reviews for this series is how much I love the writing style. Jackson Bennett does something I always appreciate - he makes dramatic scenes take a long time and feel important, instead of just having them pass by as quickly as less-important scenes. This is especially true with the ending sequence to this book and its one of the most memorable endings to any book or series I've come across. I also just think his writing in this series is vivid and quotable without holding back the pace or being too on the nose.
