Or subscribe to the newsletter if you prefer to read them! https://solo.to/storyphoria While it's interesting to see our heroes starting to realize who they are within the larger "universe", this book starts a full downward spiral into... well... despair and chaos in which Farland just decides to go all in on the mayhem. Even when our heroes succeed it feels like they are defeated, and the binding of these two worlds feels like the end of days are upon them. Farland's writing is still enjoyable, however the story/plotlines are getting a bit heavy with the plot armor and I found myself having trouble really getting invested into the characters. Not bad, just not as good as the first 4 in this series and that's a sentiment that only grows through the rest of this series for me.
