He Shall Thunder in the Sky

This book should really be read in conjunction with the previous one, The Flacon at the Portal. Together, they make one epic story. But also, I firmly believe that this series should be read in order.

Overall, I really liked it. So many answers—finally! So many things come together—again finally! And I am always a fan of adventure and peril along the way. I also enjoyed getting to see the characters grow, particularly Nefret. Not to mention, WWI adds some interesting historical elements and espionage.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that some parts felt over-explained, partially because of recapping the previous book, partially to clarify the many plot points in this one, and partially to reveal certain characters' feelings. The last one is the only one that really bugged me. Feelings should be shown not told as much as possible, and Ramses had a few moments where I didn't believe he could really be that self-aware—especially considering some of his decisions.

Other than that I was absolutely hooked! I am curious where this series will go from here, considering how much is wrapped up.
