The author is taking the reader on the loss of hope downward spiral, 'with' the books characters. For me it was almost too much effort to keep going. ![]() I understand the nature of 'things get worst', but the way this is executed in this book, is excruciating and unrelenting. The story unfolds as a constant, heavy, downward GRIND. The issue for me is, there is no relief for the reader. There is nothing wrong with the story itself, it fits into the expected framework - In the overall construct of the full epic, this book slots into the journey as the 'things get worse' section, As usual, the picture painting is a wonderful backdrop, for characters which are full of life. I suspect that in years to come, the publishers will be clearly able to identify this book as the exit point, for all but the most avid fans. I doubt I will persist with the rest of the series, which is a genuinely disappointing outcome. ![]() Unfortunately, I was glad when this one was finally over. I even went back and read Oathbringer to make sure I was up to speed. I have been looking forward to this book for so long. ![]()
