4.0

This is definitely one of the better books of the series. A drastic difference from book 4. This is either, again, written later on and added to the timeline, or at the very least, more thought and care was put into it. The writing itself is a huge step up from book 4. While there are still a good number of typos, they're easily overlooked with the story it told. I loved being able to get a little backstory into the king's death, and how it came to be. 

It's definitely one of the more darker books in the series. A lot death. A lot of maiming. Actual war. Some sad moments from those deaths. I was really starting to like two of the characters that died... But those are the stories I love the most. When an author isn't afraid to kill a character and break your heart a little.
