Some thoughts after I read Dark Age and hated it despite loving the first four books of the series:ġ) We better get a solid resolution to that baby Jackal bullshit Pierce pulled out of his ass in Dark Age.Ģ) Mustang better rule over all these hoes by the end of the series.ģ) Hopefully the Rim will actually be important to the plot in this book.Ĥ) Volsung Fa needs to die a painful death.ĥ) How the hell is Cassius still alive? I need answers.Ġ9/04: Just heard that this book series is being dragged out for TWO MORE BOOKS, Lightbringer and Red God. *Netgalley graciously gave me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. But also, I don't want this story to end.

I can't wait four more years for Red God. And like me, you will laugh, you will cheer, you will gasp, you will stress eat, and you will probably cry. But I will say, if you do love the others, you will love this one. So, for that reason, I don't want to share my feelings on characters too much because it might give stuff away. Now, if you love these books, you know how twisty and turny they can be. She didn't steal the scenes in this book (that honor belongs to someone else), but she did rise in my "favorite character" standings. But Lyria's story and her budding friendship with a particular character really surprised me and took me off guard. There were also a surprising amount of grammatical errors, but that's to be expected in an "uncorrected" copy, so I won't hold that against it.ĭarrow and Lysander have strong showings, as you'd expect, no matter how you feel about Lysander (and one particular hashtag, iykyk). This book follows four characters, the newest of which (though not technically a new perspective to the series, just the newest compared to the others) is probably the weakest in the book (in my opinion).

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone else, I must be brief. Angry that I must wait *however long* for Red God. This book is everything I wanted it to be. Well, I did say I was ready to be hurt again.
