I thoroughly enjoyed this last installment of the series! While it introduces a bunch of new characters as well as some distinctly different goals and events from the previous books, I found this quite refreshing. Because it is quite a bit longer, there was a lot more that could be fit into one novel. I'd say I met my favourite character in this one, and I felt the tension built more than in the other parts of the series. The world-building is simply fantastic, the further investigation of magic and its limits and Fitz' personal growth made for an interesting read. Big fan!
