I really have enjoyed this series so far, such a unique world.

I did have some issues with this one, mainly with parts of the plot being so sparsely mentioned that I forgot about a lot of them and had to skim sections of the book to understand the ending fully. However, I think this was mainly my fault, as I was only reading about 20 pages a day for months, and I don't think I would have forgotten as much if I had read it quicker.

Also, Rand is a goddamn IDIOT with Selene! That doesn't negatively impact my rating though, as unlike a lot of readers it seems, I don't need my protagonists to be perfect humans.

Ingtar being a Darkfriend really came out of left field - I feel like it wasn't foreshadowed at all, and also not fully explained at the reveal, but again I could just be missing things.
