As this is book 8, I'm pretty invested in this series. That being said, this is probably my least favorite entry. It was a while since I read book 7, so it was a bit of a learning process getting reaquainted with all the characters again. I liked the showdown with Aegis and Damocles, but I still think Ekeke went too far with the introduction of the witches subplot and Excalibur. I'm not really thrilled where the story is heading, but I'll most likely continue. I enjoy most of the characters, both the heroes and the villains, and I think any fan of this genre will enjoy this series.
