Mark always know how to leave you wanting more. I've read everything he's published and enjoyed all his stories for what they are. Usually a narrow glimpse at a world that has seen it's moment in the sun (hah.) I enjoyed this series but like others felt like it could have been longer. This book was two tales in one. One carrying over from the previous book about Nona's escape and the other where Nona is finishing up her training and a war that kicks out on her doorstep rather quickly.

There is a vastness of untold legacy powers, terrain, technology and more that is left by the wayside. Just like previous books. I can't be mad, but I can always be hungry.

The cadence of this book is off a bit due to the weave of two time periods put into one. Each one however within those are timed pretty well. Solid book, solid finish. The details get sorted how they need to be and you as a reader can feel in some way complete for the telling. As any last book, I won't give you much here because it is the ending but if you've read the first two this will just about slot right into where it needs to go.

Mark, make novelettes of the missing pieces sometime. I'm content picking up a small bit of before, or during, or after, or of life, or more snapshots. You do such a good job at worldbuilding.
