Executive Summary: A satisfying conclusion to an enjoyable series, albeit not quite as good as the previous book.
Audiobook: Another fantastic job by Tim Gerard Reynolds as usual. Any book that is narrated by him automatically moves
Full Review
I rarely do an entire series at all once, but more often am juggling numerous series at a time as each book comes out. I like to support the authors I enjoy and there is always plenty of books to keep me busy while I wait.
That said, it's far easier to read an entire series all at once. I became a fan of Mark Lawrence thanks to his book of the Ancestor series, and I read those books as they came out. Now I've gone back and binged on first his Broken Empire series and now this one.
I enjoyed this one far more. Both share really intriguing world building, but this one had far more likable characters and a much more intriguing plot. Oddly enough I found the second book the strongest of the three, but all of them were quite good.
I didn't like this series quite as much as Book of the Ancestor, but it cemented Mark Lawrence's new books as must read for me. I'd be very much interested in reading another book or series set in this same shared world, or pretty much whatever else he puts out.
