I'm about halfway through Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects (I know, I'm being incredibly slow considering it's only got 316 pages, but Sam's moving in this weekend and so I've been a little distracted) and so far I like it and I don't.
I won't make any arguments about the lore since I'm not as well-acquainted with it as others, but I will say the writing is good in parts and mediocre in other parts. Very early in the book, I noticed the word "then" being used quite a bit. "Then, she..." or "[something], then..." It was just repetitive and awkward. Other things have been the sudden need for a paragraph or more info dumps on lore. I understanding explaining some things that have happened, but in some parts I felt I could have understood what was going on without needing to know these tidbits from the past. These are personal things that probably only bother me, and I might potentially give examples after I'm done reading.
( Potentially spoilery thing under here. )
