This had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time. Definitely a new favourite author and potentially one of the best trilogies I've ever read. It's absolutely phenomenal, tense and chaotic but so well executed and paced.
The only reason this isn't a 5 star read is because it has That FMC Fantasy Magic Trope at the very end and it bothers me that it exists

I have. So much anger. A disgusting amount of anger. Why. Why do that. WHY.
