Great continuation of the story. This was my favorite book in the series so far. Questions that I have had for the last couple of books are finally being revealed. We finally get our first battle scene in a while, which was awesome, but this story isn't really about the battle part of war. Even though there has pretty much been war throughout the story. This is more of a chess game. With pieces being maneuvered over the span of this series to come to an epic conclusion. If you come into this series expecting battle after battle you will be disappointed, or maybe you won't if you give the story time to get going. I didn't expect the story to play out like it has, and I am glad it hasn't. I have really enjoyed this series. This is one I will definitely be coming back to in the future. Well, until next time, it's on to The Spider's War.
