Finally finished this book, by far the longest read time of the series for me. Part of it was time constraints, but it was also a book that I really needed to take breaks from. I'll stay spoiler free in terms of specifics, but I will talk about the overall tone of the book.
I found it very depressing, and disheartening. I have high hopes for the series end, there has been plenty of foundation set down. The brutal march to the conclusion had me worn down at times during this book. I don't think this book or the previous one had the "payoffs" that the first three did to counterbalance the negativity.
I still liked the book, it was great writing. I still think the series will have a great and epic conclusion. The third book just set the bar so high.
