Too Short For Spoiler Review
Okay so... as much as I love this series and love Lirael and the Disreputable Dog, a good half of this book should have been titled "And Sam generally fails at life because therapy isn't a thing apparently."

Well then, that was definitely a book of many, many, many turns down very dark alleys that really just needed to be trimmed into alcoves, if that. Just so, so much stuff was packed into this book that was really more boring than anything else. I could barely keep track of characters or their story lines and I just... ugh. Took me a good year and seven months to finish, and I thought about giving up several times... the ending was not worth the wait, if I’m completely honest. Just... ugh.

Well that was soul crushing... and not just for me, but any explanation of that's a spoiler so, yeah.
And now for guerilla warfare, sort of. Lots of recruitment and discovery of different powers of the Reds. Lots of soul-searching for Mare. Hard being the figurehead while at the same time being taunted by your ex. Also, there's some world-building mixed in, mostly pertaining to the Red Guard and their secrets, but also some wider-world stuff that I'm very interested in.
