For a hyped series this book falls flat.

I loved the first two books, but within this instalment it story's of big, right where AKOFAF leaves off. It's packed with action and twists until after the first 30%. Then it slows drastically and drags. Things are explained that don't need to be and the strange purple monster things that appear seem to be there to break the sag in the story and that's it.

And OMG all the TALKING!

Within this sagging middle things are repeated of what happened in AKOFAF which isn't needed. Meeting a god was cool but also pointless. The sex was meh.

And for those wondering. There is no JOINING! Which I was really hoping for.


Then the last 15% picks up. But the “big plan” fails and it's obvious it fails because the plan is so STUPID.

The ending I predicted. Snd I'm honestly that that afraid for a certain character? As she could never harm him because of readers love.

Honestly it was meh for me.

I really want to like it but after talking with book clubs my review has decreased. I can't just like a book because of Hawke, even though he is a massive factor to my love for theses books.


I hope book four is going to have more of a story structure this lacks one.
