Crawlers, hunters, monsters, pets, npc's, and a slightly unstable AI are just a few things one can expect from this fifth installment in the DCC universe.
All jokes aside, for a series that is at times gratuitously violent, gory, horrific, and comedic, this book wrapped up a storyline that left me with all the feels...and it involved a damned NPC.
Now I just have to decide whether to immediately dive into book 6 "The Eye of the Bedlam Bride"...

I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever worked in IT. Especially, executives and managers.
Also, to anyone who has parents that are incompetent mosters (Incompemonsters TM) and need YOU to fix THEIR problems 😂
Yet again, I'm glad I don't pay any attention to Goodreads reviews. Everyone's a critic, and critics are too quick to judge. I found this tale to be a perfect example of gothic dark fantasy.
This was my first adventure with V. E. Schwab, and I look forward to exploring her work further.
Personally, I thought the story was the perfect length, chugged along at the right pace, and ended at the right time without dragging on for too long - an excellent late-night atmospheric read.💀
No idea how this amazing trilogy have eluded me for 2 decades!
"The best epic fantasy book I have read in a while. Tons of names, tribes, nations, cities, countries, factions, individuals clash in a massive once-in-a-millennium undertaking. What more does a bookworm need? Simply top-shelf stuff, imho. "
