One of the best science fiction / fantasy novels I've ever read. Only cried 7 times.

A satisfying addition to the saga, Dark Age does suffer a bit from wedging too many "main" characters and too many plots and sub-plots into one novel. I look forward to seeing how Brown ties up all the loose ends (or at least the ones that need tying) in the final book, whenever that comes out.

I.. I... I.......

That was the train wreck of my head so many times during this long, brutal, epic book.

I don't get shook often in books. This shook me. Not once.. Not twice.. but at least three times I had to pause and set the book down only to bring it back to my minds eye like a hungry, half-starved individual who couldn't believe what they were reading was true.

I left this book alone a while. The series started as some YA partial-grimdark and it ebbed around that concept and I thought I knew what I was in for--so I let it marinate. I thought I knew..

I knew nothing..

This book is worthy on so many levels. The continuation of an epic tale of victories that make you high, and tragedies which break your soul.

I can't give anything away but I yearn for the next book. …
