    Great conclusion to the series. It didn't quite match that frame of the first, but it's pretty good payoff and tied everything together well. Great world building.

      Pretty good! Less character work than the first. It was also lacking the neat frame the first one had. Mostly felt like a stepping stone to the third. Writing continues to be good though.

      Really great book. Good frame, superb worldbuilding, pretty good characters. The way magic was explained felt fairly satisfying. It sort of throws you into the deep end and everything makes more sense as you go. Doesn't stray from tradegy. Definitely a good start to a series and I'm excited to see what comes next.
