The end. Oh no sadness! But then I do like a good trilogy. 3 books and that is it. Gotta love when yo can actually finish a series on time.

Right, so this world sucks. There is a crack in the sky, a place called Misery with things that will eat you. Acid rain. Evil kings and their minions waiting to attack. Yes, a shitty place that is going more shitty. A dark grey place.

Then we have Ryhalt who has been living in the misery for years now, and who has a plan. Ryhalt has kept on falling deeper and deeper since book 1. And now, well he is in deep and messed up.

I can't say much, spoilers!

But this is a great grey series. The world is just so, well shitty! In a good way. I like these messy characters. Sad to see them go, but glad it ended well. 

And now I wonder what he will write next. Nothing on the horizon yet.

Tormenting red rains sweep the land, new monstrosities feed on fear in the darkness, and the power of the Nameless, the gods who protect the Republic, lies broken. The Blackwing captains who serve them are being picked off one by one, and even immortals have learned what it means to die. Meanwhile the Deep Kings have only grown stronger, and are poised to deliver a blow that will finally end the war.

Ryhalt Galharrow stands apart from it all.

He has been deeper into the wasteland known as the Misery than ever before. It has grown within him - changed him - but all power comes with a price, and now the ghosts of his past, formerly confined to the Misery, walk with him everywhere.

They will even follow him, and the few surviving Blackwing captains, on one final mission into the darkness.
