Flood of Fire

Disappointing to see the second and third parts of this tale descend into a tale which unashamedly prioritised the male characters' stories & completely sidelined the women characters until their narrative roles dwindled to bit parts serving the development of male characters. Whole key aspects of plot & narratives essential to the story are just abandoned & never resolved.
The story too just became unnecessarily bogged down in the tedious & odious details of military manoeuvring & violent resolutions
