I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. I absolutely could not wait for one book to finish before awaiting breathlessly for the next. This book absolutely did not disappoint. The story picks up from where the first book ends giving us background and relevance to many open questions left over from the first book. There is enough action and twists and turns to delight an action loving reader.

Full review to come.
I deeply apologize, but life is a handful lately and I'm using all my free time to read, not review. I hope everybody understands.

A powerhouse of a series. Superlative worldbuilding, great protagonists, interesting side characters. Falco and Jessop have taken the Blade. With a war on two fronts, Jessop leads one army to their former home where Kohl, the man who she betrayed, has taken over. Falco stays with their son and defends the Blade. With an enemy in hand, and rebellion put down, they now face the most devastating loss. As the army races to barren lands........wham. Cliffhanger. Cannot recommend this series enough. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.
