Bonds of Chaos delivers a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, with a lot of reveals and high action, but the things that have always stood out with Argyle's writing is his worldbuilding and character relationships, both of which are elevated even further in the final installment. I think Threadlight has such cool, distinct environments that center around nature and I can always visualize them very well.
