Monza, Monza, Monza what ever will we all do with you?
Did I enjoy this? Absolutely!
Was it my favourite installment in the world? No.
I enjoyed the cast of characters and I thought that the parallels between Monza and her physical... difficulties (to keep it spoiler free) were going to be a nice foil against Glokta's but I honestly felt like as the plot proceeded her issues were not really as meaningful in terms of her journey. So I think I just had a mismatched expectation and saw that as a bit of a lost opportunity. But frankly that's such a nitpicky complaint of my own making.
The side characters were good, the little "reveal" in this was interesting but I think the writing was on the walls with that one hahaha. I'm curious how this will impact the next installments in the world.
