Very fun. Best so far, but it's not like it's a reward for "suffering" through the first two instalments! It's a slower but constant winding up in complexity and payoffs. Imagine a webbed network of plot and various elements at play, but shaped in a conical, tornado shape. If book 1 is at the bottom, this book 3 is right in the middle of the storm. We're in the suck-zone, no turning back. This does a wonderful job at peeling back layers and layers of mystery as time goes by and huge cataclysmic scenes unfold. This series' worldbuilding is excellent. Writing is decent, not great, to me.
