Definitely my least favorite so far but still really good and it's only part 1 of a planned trilogy so it should be expected to be the weakest link.
All the characters have been split up and are having their own adventures. Although is it considered an adventure if you're trying to save mankind?
The Autarch of Xis has made his move and his prepared to take control of the Gods (don't see that going well)
The Qar are split. Some want to kill all humans and some are trying to pass down knowledge to help everyone in the upcoming war.
Barrick has finally made it to his destination in the Shadowline to receive the answers he's been needing.
Briony is trying to survive in a foreign court but something isn't right.
Qinnitan is trying to escape Vo, who may the most badass evil character I've ever read.
All in all I enjoyed this installment but I could use a break after reading two in a row. Tad is a great writer but can be mentally draining after a while.
