Finished it, and will probably spend the next day trying to work out how to do a review. This is a very, very difficult book to review (to the point where I may have to do some kind of holding action now and a spoiler-filled review 6 months after release).

I'm excited for your review,Wert. Good luck!

Bakkerfans announced a forthcoming ARC giveaway and Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has released a "Quote of the Day," which basically amounts to an excerpt a couple paragraphs long. Definitely shows off Bakker's amazing writing!

Review up in the review section. It's a very, very good ending and one I think will be talked about for a long time to come (until that concluding duology comes out).

Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has shared two more quotes from about half-way and two-thirds through the book. Minor spoilers regarding POV: Quote #2, Quote #3.

Also, Andy at Bakkerfans has received an ARC from Overlook.

a wind rose in the passes of the Great Kayarsus. This wind is not the ending, there are no endings to the Atrocities of time, but it is an ending.
