After reading all the books, I can say that this is one of the best fantasy series in quite a long time. It is a true Exploration of humanity of a variety of characters coming to grips with their own humanity, their darkness and light, and the relationships around them that are just as complicated as they are.

I have been reading this series since the first book came out. In fact i have re read this series more times than i can count. Endless hours have been put into theories and ideas, so much so i began to fear the end would not be as good as i could imagine it to be. Im not going to lie now and say it was, but it was better than i could have hoped. This conclusion left me suprised and happy. Brent Weeks spun a tail that brought me to love and hate characters, to tear up and laugh with joy, and finaly to smile knowing that this author understood his characters and loved them, and understood and loved his audience. He did not pander, but he wrote a satisfying ending that will forever be held in my heart as the best possible ending for the best series ive ever read. Thank you, Mr Weeks and everyone who made it possible.

Honestly a Better Ending Than Hoped.

Simon Vance and Brent Weeks are a match made in heaven.

Brent brings it altogether in this one and leaves you thinking you know what is going to happen next just to be surprised again and again.

It was an absolute pleasure listening and I wish it didn't have to end.

10/10
