I honestly don't think you can review this without reading all four books, as Wolfe holds certain facts back (I've been spoiled on some things) that are revealed later. Especially since the book doesn't so much end as stop.

More of Mur's books…
“Strength is taking charge of your own destiny and not waiting on others to do so. You don’t have to swear and drink and beat people up and slay monsters. You’re allowed to cry and take care of children and cook and get your heart broken and dress up and date and get pregnant. But when decisions have to be made, a strong character makes them and doesn’t wait for someone else.”
Mur Lafferty
