[BWF] {Steeplechase] Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes, #3) – Sabaa Tahir - 4 stars

[Linda C]

The last volume had a surprise revelation that I didn’t see coming but this volume made that a minor revelation. There are several revelations that brought the current situation for many of the players into better perspective. All three of the main characters have lots to suffer through before this book ends. Bloody is an overall description for the action.

But even with all the action I felt this book was a long set up for what I hope will be a glorious finish. Elias is in a tug of war emotionally and ideologically that made his time here rather wordy, and Darin isn’t given much to do. It's still a good volume that makes you want to stick around for the finish.
