So Sun Eater is over and I feel bereft. It has been an absolutely epic ride from start to finish but I don't feel like it's over. The last couple of chapters left a lot of loose ends which could lead to stories following other characters or even Hadrian himself.
For this book specifically, it's not my favourite. There were some stand out moments (Alexander's betrayal, the show downs between Hadrian and Dorayaica, Ushara taking over everyone, all the scenes with William and Hadrian) but it felt bloated and really could have been edited down a little.
I've listened to the whole series on audio and found Samuel Roukin to be an excellent narrator, but I know I will reread this in physical form and take more time with it. As a series it is unforgettable.
