didn’t like as much as the other books in the series. I can’t help but feel that Dinniman sets up little plot points over the knock them over with the smallest amount of effort. Book 7 did a decent job at setting up and working through battles. However, the amount of Deus Ex Machina and sudden, spontaneous victories mean the wins rarely feel earned. Pain is sometimes felt, and understood, but the impacts and horrors of what our characters face is not felt equally across moments.
However, beyond that, Dinniman’s writing is enjoyable and fun. Jokes are good. New characters are often interesting. It was decent! Would not read again!
