review 1: This was another solid read for me. As always Martin delivers not only on the battlefield, but in her descriptions of the magic used throughout the story. I loved reading about the Dread and Tris's journey to the Nether. I also found new characters to fall in love with in this installment. I'e always had a soft spot for Kiara and Tris's relationship, but I think that Aidane and Kolin's story is really sweet as well. But not sickly, just really 'aww' worthy (even if she's kind of an emotional dunderhead/ convenient badass) I really wish the next book was out. That's all I'm gonna say. This one didn't end with a cliff hanger, but the story laid out was enough to have me anxious to see how the new leader's lives pan out.
review 2: I really like the world created ... morein this series. This volume is mainly war; multiple fronts of the same war. So it reads pretty fast despite being a large book. This is also apparently the last of this portion of the story - the "Fallen Kings Cycle" - and the next book will be part of the next cycle of the series.There is some frustration with overlapping events occurring but the characters being apart from each other so they can't combine efforts, but it's not enough to fully detract from the story. And, in some ways, the way the separate events are played off each other actually work well.Since it's war there are some deaths and some characters don't make it, though not so much as to take away from the main core.A very enjoyable series though and this book is no exception. As always, I look forward to the next. less
