Just finished chapter 52 of 59. Yeah... I believe this book is earning an out-of-respect-for-an-insane-third-act, 5 stars. We'll see how these closing chapters play out - but everything with Bayaz, Yoru, Jezal, Logen, Ferro (worried about her), and Glokta and Ardee? It's all super satisfying to see the pieces fall together like this - I'm highly impressed.

Ok! Things are happening. In Adua, Glokta is torn in his investigations, and seems to have come to a realization. Jezal is miserable as King with Terez. The Gurkish are coming - hooray for more Ferro chapters to come! Definitely the highlight of the recent chapters has been Helm's Deep... er... the High Places... and Gandalf's... er.. West's eleventh hour save! Black Dow had a surprisingly heartfelt farewell to Tull.

If I had to guess, I'm roughly a quarter of the way through the Audiobook on this one - Jezal's turn as King, and Bayaz's wizardry in making it happen, are definitely the highlights for me so far. I question where Glokta's story is going - did not enjoy him messing with my favorite Navigator, and now worry about Ferro (who I sorely miss from book two). West messing with Kroy and Poulder was super fun.

I find myself wondering how this series will end! That I’ve picked it up as quickly as I have, with no lull between, shows I’m invested in these characters and that world. I’ve heard the first two setup books pay off beautifully here, and I can’t wait to find out how!
