The last book in the Dark Divine trilogy is filled with a lot more action than the previous two.
The main thing that draws the reader in and keeps the interest is the continuing referral to a past event and the desire to know what happened as well as find out what is currently going on with mysterious disappearances.
Despain alternates between Haden and Daphne’s viewpoints with a skill that helps buoy a middle section bogged down with exposition and Underlord angst.
