Yet another great addition to the adventures of Rhapsody, Achmed, and Grunthor.
This was definitely a “middle” book as it set the stage for a greater conflict in this series. Exciting things still happened though and I can’t wait to see more action and breathtaking fights as things unfold in the next book.

While this is technically about Rhapsody's pregnancy and the birth of her child we see a whole lot of stuff get rehashed and happen again making this the most boring story in the series so far because only one truly new thing happens in this story and only about the last 40-50 pages of this are truly an interesting read.
As much as I hate to rag on this book it truly does feel like the author phoned in the first 75% of it and then got kinda inspired at the end but didn't feel like going back and spreading the inspo through the rest of the story.

4.5 The thing that bugged me was how many sub-plots there were. It was hard to keep track of and some of the plots had nothing to do with the main plot. I'm sure they will come into play in The Assassin King, but it left a lot of name bobbling around in my head after their story was dropped. Some reappeared neared the end and I almost forgot who they were and why they were important.
Now onto the many strong points of this novel. It's consistent with the rest of the series in lore and world building and character development. It was amazing. It is so vivid and real. I always want more from the world, yet I still feel satisfied when I finish a book. The leads are still strong and diverse and make the book better. Other than the amount of sub-plot, whether relevant or seemingly irrelevant, it was flawless.

I've read a lot of reviews on this book and there is a lot of complaints about repetition and reminders from the other books (1-4) of the series. I agree she repeats a lot. When reading in order straight through it is annoying but not overly so.
This was not the best of the series so far, but a lot of build up for future books that promises good plots.

I was pretty excited that there were more books after the original three, I didn't enjoy them quite as much, but they were still fun to read.

It was interesting but way too long. The plot was centered around Rhapsody's pregnancy, which isn't interesting enough to carry a book. Basically this one was setting up the next book, which should be better.
