What started out as another book centered around Martin, this time in his younger years, really interested me at first, but the more i read leading all the way to the ending is what devastated me the most in the best way.

Highlights: A strong premise of breaking free of slavery and freeing the rest of your brethren, survivors guilt, violence and peace really gripped me but what made this book for me were the characters Martin, Rose, Brome, and Felldoh and what they represented. Fighting for peace in a world full of corruption and the necessity of violence.

Disappointments: I don't really have much to nitpick except towards the middle of the book it seemed to drag quite a bit. But the pace picked up in the latter half anyways.

I want to say more about this book and this series in particular but it would end up an essay lol. Plus i dont want to get into spoiler territory so i can tell whoever is reading this review that you must read this. I can say this one is my absolute favorite from this series so far and definitely one of my favorite books ever.
