also iscend comprine you have my heart queen 

this is so, so good. out of all the books in this series, this is the most hopeful and less painful up to date. that dose of catharsis towards the end is just everything. i love baru. and tain hu. we love to see a clever, powerful woman finally begin her revenge spree. we root for her all the way.

can't patiently wait for the conclusion of this mind-boggling series.
