By far his best book of the series and a simply perfect ending. First two books a little slow at first but this 4th book made the whole series worth it. Gripping action for most the book and so much character development, twists I didn’t see coming

Best book yet

Just finished trought the whole series, I remember reading the first book as a kid. I loved the setting and the characters. Now I got to appreciate the interactions among them with a different prospective. And i really loved the ending, which was perfect in the way the narrator portraits it!
