Wind and Truth

Wow. I'm not going to go into detail, but what a ride.

The main spoiler bit is that I was expecting more arcs to conclude, but he pivoted the whole thing into feeling like a true beginning of the war for the Cosmos. I do hope the choice of timescale for the next half doesn't cut too hard on the threads he left open.It's pretty clear there will be some passage of time, but most of the characters don't feel like their stories are finished.

If I could, this would be more like a 4.8 stars but I didn’t feel it quite deserved a perfect 5. I loved all the stories, although one was definitely the standout throughout the whole thing. The character development from each major character is exactly what I wanted. Overall, there were so many great stories and moments (both funny and serious) that made me love this book. I just had a few minor issues with scope, pacing, etc. that made me feel that it wasn’t quite perfect.
