If he can’t convince the Gray Wolf queen to take a stand, he knows that the Seven Realms will fall, and his last sanctuary will be destroyed. Among the dead will be the one person Evan can’t stand to lose.

I didn't like it as much as book two. :( It felt less action-based and way more political. There were so many different points of view to deal with and so many moving pieces. Sometimes it was hard to keep track. I often forgot which character another character was with or where they were or what they were doing. There were long stretches where it felt like nothing really was happening.
