The Last Uncharted Sky by Curtis CraddockMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Sadly, I can see why this series overall didn't make much of a splash on the fantasy scene these last few years, despite the glowing recommendations in the blurbs from the likes of Brandon Sanderson. As interesting as this series always has been, and as unique, it's a classic example of diminishing returns - even this book, with its biggest plot shake ups yet, just falls kinda flat. Honestly, having gone through the whole trilogy, I really think it would've worked a hell of a lot better with Isabelle as the sole protagonist. Jean-Claude, unfortunately, manages to be quite boring in comparison, probably because he just doesn't have such a strong conflict in universe the way Isabelle always does. But it's worth it to get to the end of this one because of how well woven the in universe religious aspects get, especially in the last few pages. To this series, I now declare ave atque vale.
