Bonds of Chaos delivers a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, with a lot of reveals and high action, but the things that have always stood out with Argyle's writing is his worldbuilding and character relationships, both of which are elevated even further in the final installment. I think Threadlight has such cool, distinct environments that center around nature and I can always visualize them very well.

But the core of the series is about family (lift your Coronas to the sky!) - blood & chosen family. At this point in the series, each of the major characters' relationships to each other is well defined, and continues to grow. Most of my favorite scene are just two characters talking. One scene has a married couple with one of them upset, the other realizes they're in the wrong, apologizes and promise to do better. Shocker, effective communication!

There were a lot of great lines in this book and I liked the way Argyle examines faith, fanaticism, found family, forgiveness (I promise all the F words are coincidental
