This was a great read, although I've discovered something important while reading it: I'm not a fan of a serialised story! The stopping and starting didn't work for me - just when we'd get to a good bit I'd run out of instalments! - but taking this as a full length novel, as it could easily be read as, it was excellent!
The Kraken King, Ariq, was truly delicious and Zenobia was a heroine of pure class. I loved them both. The storyline and Brook's worldbuilding were, as usual, second to none.
Overall series rating - 4 Stars ★★★★

0Yes, yes, YES! After the events in Part VII, there were several people who I really wanted to see defeated at the end, and while the lady in waiting gets off scott free the General's fate was pretty goddamn awesome. Ariq's politics and maneuvering are in full effect, managing the herculean task of carving out a HEA despite geopolitical hostility.
