The Eye of Darkness

You are only alive, because you remind me of what the Nihil must never become. That is your purpose, that is all you are.

I really liked EoD, finally getting back to the phase one characters that I missed so much felt like a comforting school reunion, however this reunion does come at the cost of feeling a bit more lost and meandering in nature compared to the other novels of the series. More like a catch up on the state of the galaxy a year after, and honestly I'm not against that too much because I do enjoy these guys so much.

It's nice to have Avar take the lead in another book. Her and Porter are great in this and watching her mental state post the fall of Starlight is great. Porter acts as a great piece of connective tissue between phases one and two with his knowledge of the past and connection to one of the new antagonists.

Bell and Burry are always nice to see but kind of felt like they didn't need to be in this one, I wont lie.
