Troy Pavlek
Five stars because I enjoyed reading it. It's not without flaws. It's definitely a bit slow, and the threads take a bit too long to connect.
It definitely does that annoying thing where you'll get a lot of names thrown at you, but like 90% of them will die so is it even worth learning those names? Definitely plot armour is not very strong, so that's an asset.
Book ends very much setting up the next, so if the rest of the trilogy doesn't deliver, that'll suck.
