5.0

If I'm real honest, I read Ruin + Wrath so close together that I can't say what specifically happened in Ruin. I just know it was a good time, even if it felt a bit slow at times. 

A lot happened in this book. I loved every bit. 

I do feel there was a bit of too much waiting and build up. And I really didn't like that Corban wasn't apart of what seemed to be final battle.

Still absolutely adore the friendships and closeness of Corban's warband. And I'm really happy that Veradis stood against Calidus and stopped blindly obeying.
