Disquiet Gods

So, I don't love where the macro story in Sun Eater is going, I think, but Ruocchio is such a good writer that it doesn't matter that much. This book is crazy and definitely mind bending and thought provoking, but some of the answers to the questions we are getting are in directions that I have little to no interest in. There is also a major character introduced in this one that I think didn't really land. They are more of a concept of a character, than a character themselves. Ruocchio's side characters have always been a relative weakness of the series.

However, the last third or so of this book was absolutely wild, top tier entertainment and mind-blowing reveals, creepy imagery and some of the best characters in the series. As always, the character writing for Hadrian is just incredible, Hadrian is very very old and he feels his age. And as always, Ruocchio's prose is fantastic.

Not my favorite of the series like it is for some people, but not my least favorite either.
