Part 4 ended with a sudden twist. Wow

The second half of this book is flying by. It is very good despite being mostly setup and politics. He really is masterful at building intrigue and expanding the lore through dialogue in ways that aren't forced at all. My predictions are also coming true. Exciting.

Lord Ruler keeps calling himself the Hero of Ages in the epigraphs/logbook. I predict he was actually the hero of the story prior to turning evil or something. Not that he as the evil Lord Ruler won necessarily but that the old evil ruler turned him evil.

I was right that the epigraphs were written by the Lord Ruler… As I suspected.

Very good. Slow burn but interesting through and through.
