Bold decision to put a non LI on the cover...let's see how it works out for 'em cotton. Spoilers ahead. I'm honestly a little disappointed, we've waited 5 or 6 years for this, the big villain was built up as world ending, and is immediately fly swatted have said nothing. And the DRAMA, so much drama, and not the crunchy kind I usually like, it's the ugly crying and apologizing kind from the last book, not fun to read. The world ending portal and it's caretakers, resolved off screen in a few paragraphs...just really disappointed, I don't think the author has released anything in this intervening time, even under his other pen name last release was two/three years ago, so why does it feel so rushed? The ending was fine enough if you ignore all the previously mentioned issues.
