Feels like we’re finally getting somewhere

The 5th installment of this series was surprisingly good. I’m not sure if the mood just struck me, or if slowing down the speed to 1.5x made the difference. Regardless, I really liked this one and wonder if I need to reread the others.

In particular, I felt there was a lot of character growth through problem solving and application of previously mentioned content. Likewise, the distant places repeatedly referenced are actually visited. So their appearances and customs, as well as the appearances and customs of those who live there, are provided and influence the story.

We meet new characters (which we do in every book), but I really liked these ones. Also, old characters show that all of us have a past that influences who they are today. In all, I actually need to applaud Asher for roping in so many main characters and giving all of them a purpose.

I’m still going to need a map, with a legend, because characters seem to move so fast between locations that at times cities seem on top of one another, and at other times, they are too far away to offer aid.
