This is the 5th book in the series. When I started it I was looking for something to follow up defiance of the fall and I tried a bunch of the series and I didt like any of them. These books are so worth it. There all almost 30 hours long and even know the character sheet chapters suck just skip em.. if you like unsouled or defiance of the fall you will like this series. Its growth systems are different and very in-depth so you do understand them. And above all else the story line is great there 2 main characters and you follow them which makes it a little different than anything else.
