The battle scenes could have been cut a bit, they felt repetitive. Overall amazing audiobook

This half of the book was like 4.25 stars. The production was still incredible and without giving away too many spoilers, there were plenty of twists, turns and traitors to keep things interesting.

The battle sequences just got a bit too monotonous and predictable to merit 5 stars like the first half. I did not enjoy that ending one bit either, it felt hollow. I think it's the worst decision Darrow has ever made and I was Team Rage God all the way.

Still a lot of fun and an interesting development of the characters, I am looking forward to reading the sequel (which will hopefully expand the worldbuilding!)
