The main villain finally appears, in all his might and power, only to disappear in the same chapter and how it happens is quite confusing. The climax happens in last few chapters and it was meh. Also, the story still felt like set up, needlessly so. Binabik and Josua were the only interesting characters that proved to be multidimensional in the end. Particularly Simon everything he has been through should have made him more interesting, but Williams still portrays him as a dumb teenager, full of hormones and unrealistic dreams of glory and honour. Considering this is the last book in the series, none of the characters really develop or grow. While the initial set up of the story was interesting, Williams failed in his delivery and ending. Honestly, this is just about made it in the category of mediocre for me. After an extensive search via Google, this kept coming up as a recommendation for anyone wanting a George RR Martin style story.
