the conclusion to the Shadowmarch tetralogy. A god is resurrected, but not the god Sulepsis [the mad monarch] thinks, the god is defeated. Brionny and Ferris get together, Barick becomes the leader of the Qar for its last generation and everyone else just kind of survives. I wasn’t impressed, sadly. I doubt I’ll ever re-read this series.
Disappointing, to be honest. But this whole series has been slow with no real payoff, imo. Even the ending was “wham, bam, thankyou ma’am”. I just never found a character who I really liked in this series and I kept waiting for someone to cheer for.
