Story5 out of 5 stars 145
Lord Regent Geder Palliako's great war has spilled across the world, nation after nation falling before the ancient priesthood and weapon of dragons. But even as conquest follows conquest, the final victory retreats before him like a mirage. Schism and revolt begin to erode the foundations of the empire, and the great conquest threatens to collapse into a permanent conflict of all against all. In Carse, with armies on all borders, Cithrin bel Sarcour, Marcus Wester, and Clara Kalliam are faced with the impossible task of bringing a lasting peace to the world.

The best of a very good series
Reviewed: 04-07-24
Almost everything is tied up in a satisfying conclusion. Even seemingly minor events and people from earlier boos get callbacks that make their original appearances richer.
There are seeds planted for a successor major story, but I don’t know that I need one. Between The Dagger and the Coin ant The Expanse, I think I’ve learned what Abraham has to say about people, societies, and how people ought to act when constrained by those societies. That was fun and meaningful to read. But I suspect anything further, while still fun, would hit less deeply.
In any case the maybe 300 hours of listening those two series have given me are much appreciated.
