Wintertide

3.25 out of 5 stars

I had been let down by the prior two installments, but this penultimate volume is certainly a return to form. The story is much tighter, with more characters working together or in interweaving narrative threads, and the overarching plot moves forward in compelling and unexpected ways. I don't have the same level of excitement I did when I started Royce and Hadrian's journey, but I'm still intrigued to see how it all concludes in the final volume.
