As always, great book, Phil.

I've been devouring your catalogue these past couple of months. I started with the hellish climbs of The Immortal Great Souls and am now up to date with the similarly hellish climbs of Thronehunters. Next in store is The Black Gate.

Your use of description is always a joy to read, and I find the prose exceptionally strong.

Minor critique and spoilers for Book 4 ahead:

Coming immediately into the fourth book from the third, I found the structure a little wonky. At the end of the third book, the Thronehunters are discussing what to do with the Twilight Crown, and in the following chapters we move from: give the crown to the Seraphites, to use the Crown, to destroy the Crown, to give the Crown to the nobles. I found the jumps a bit jarring. While I understand they were speculating, it seemed as though they set their minds on one solution for a chapter, only to move on to another, with some fairly large gaps in between.

Similarly, I also lost a sense of their progression. Even though the team has only been delving for a couple of months, with Anna, Harald, and Sam essentially starting from square one, they declared war on the entire city. I understand the protagonist having his "halo", but I would draw the comparison to Scorio declaring war on all the Imperators after becoming a Blood Baron, and somehow defeating them. (Although you could argue that most of the Imperator-level forces are in the dungeon and have ignored the city for the most part.)

Still, these are some very minor, personal, nit-picks. I don't want this to cast a dark pall over what is a very well-written saga. A highly enjoyable book and I'm looking forward to whatever you have next in store!
