Interesting story about the shadowmasters, a new and old evil and some more annalists with different points of view. I am not sure, if I like that Croaker kind of retired from writing anymore annals, but it is a decent way to describe different stories. The last book was a bit odd, especially the ending with another real death of Raven. Wonder if this was the last time and if the tree god is really capable of sealing the silver spike away. He son failed badly. I still haven't understood what happend to the Limper, they burned for some time? Did they destroy the skull this time?
