I know a lot of people *didn't* like this one but let me tell you I fucking loved it.

Sexier, more gruesome, more murder-y.
I mean THEY KILL A GOD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!


And listen a TON happens. Like you keep thinking this is it and then THERE'S ANOTHER BATTLE. But even with that, even knowing that this was supposed to be a trilogy and Davenport had to rework it into a duology - I couldn't pinpoint a singular place where "book 2" would've ended.

It flowed, it made sense, it was really fucking fun.

And it was a strong reminder that revolution is bloody AND that peace is worth fighting for.
