    Inverarity is tying up loose ends left and right. I have to admit I'm curious about how this will shape book 7.

    Inverarity has no issue killing their darlings. So many deaths recently.

    Book 6 is now done.

    I enjoyed reading it, but it did feel like a bit too wild of a ride. There was too much going on, too little downtime, so many characters…

    The ending also came out of nowhere after a bit of an anticlimax.

    Great series, looking forward to the final book, but it feels like this could have been executed better.

    It's an entertaining read. Inverarity excels at creating an intricate, rich world and writes some thrilling action scenes. I found chapter 33 rather memorable.

    I can't gel with the characters, though. In my eyes most adults in the Quickverse behave like idiots and Alexandra is a particularly unlikable protagonist: too much chaos and willfulness for me to build any kind of rapport with her.

    Warts and all, I had a good time reading. I thank Inverarity for sharing his considerable talent and hard work and I'm here for book 7.
