It's been two years plus change since the last update to this series. I get that the author was feeling burnt out, but at this point I have to question if the author will ever finish it.
Okay, I started this the first time in March 2020, but never finished reading this book. Now that book 17 is finally being published, I'm really reading this one.
And I'm so happy I did! This book brings back all our favorite characters from the entire series. I love how absolutely great Justinian is as a villain. He's clearly got the endgame ball rolling and I anticipate the fall out will be so far beyond my own comprehension (yet make perfect sense in hindsight) that I will have to reread the last few books immediately.
Ravana is turning out to be one of my favorite characters. She felt a lot more like a non-entity early on, so I hope in the future we get the short story Coming to Dinner after book 7 or 8 in the future. It would help that transition a lot.
I can't wait to see where the endgame is going! Give me more Tiraas!
