![]() The stakes and the world have been expanding since book one, but in recent installments I have been amazed at how much Bancroft has added to the story and how he has been able to develop these huge and momentous plot points and ideas that just feel so much bigger than what this series started out as. I think this is also what makes it so difficult to finish this series and leave these characters, and to see the various obstacles that these characters face, but that's the best compliment I could give to a book's characters to make me feel that way. One of the biggest strengths of this series (in addition to the world-building and imagination, of course) is its characters, as Bancroft absolutely excels at creating unique and unforgettable characters that have so much life breathed into them that they feel as real as any person I know. And of course Byron, who is easily one of my favorite characters in this entire season! I was also pleased to see even more new characters added to the cast–especially some more villainous ones–because I am always so intrigued and excited to see what personality Bancroft will create next. ![]() Senlin, Edith, Iren, Voleta, and so many more return to continue their excellently written character arcs. ![]() As the story progresses, we slowly join more character POVs that we know and love, and even get to meet new characters. ![]()
