Odd to enjoy a book where they main protagonists are a torturer, a half demon, a Jekyll & Hyde man, and a coward.

The twist in this book is some solid payoff for a prior book that felt more wandering and it is on a similar level of a red wedding.

I’ll tell you, if we can’t have a Song of Ice and Fire ending, The First Law series is a pretty solid substitute.
