Just finished the book and I am nothing short of traumatised. I feel like I've been fighting for my life there's so much adrenaline coursing my veins. After my frustration at the manner in which The Daylight War told the origin story for a third time from yet another perspective I was delighted to see next to no backtracking in this. Amazing pace, well-rounded characters with a depth and variety rarely seen in fantasy epics and heart-stopping twists. An absolutely stellar continuation/rejuvenation of a series I was starting to fear for.
