Probably the weakest book in the series so far. Even the concept of having Kaladin perform a Die Hard tribute in the endless backrooms of Urithiru isn’t enough to save the middle portion from being absolutely mud water to wade through.

This is probably just one for the super fans, but Nick Cave is an interesting enough guy that I could listen to him talk about everything under the sun for hours.

Rysn and Lopez are great, but I’m honestly not sure if I care about lore enough if it’s not on a grand scale. Still a lot better than Edgedancer though.

After the series high that was God Emperor, this feels like a new low. It’s comparable to Children, but much much worse as the plotting is so convoluted and none of the characters really stand out. Good as a sleep aid though as it took me months to finish reading because I’d feel asleep within minutes of starting a chapter!

Introduce as much lore as you like, it doesn’t really matter if your main character is absolutely insufferable. Not sure if I’d even recommend this for the hardcore fans

It’s a shame that Arthur Conan Doyle didn’t do more of these A-part, B-part mysteries, because this was great! His passion for historical fiction really shines through here, which makes me really want to check out some of his other works at some point.
