I devoured this book in two sittings, the second of which genuinely kept me up all night reading cause I couldn't set it down for longer than 5 minutes. Possibly the best book in the series, you can tell Michael planned and wrote this series all at once, because all of the planning, foreshadowing, characters, plot threads, etc, are all done so neatly and elegantly. This was amazing, so much payoff, reveals that make so much sense and were foreshadowed so intelligently and slyly, just wow. My only complaint is that a few deaths I'd rather have not happened, but that is my own preference and like of certain characters rather than an issue in the story-telling. A fantastic conclusion and one of my favorite books now, easily one of the best conclusions to an epic fantasy series I've read.
