Thus concludes my six book run of GGK novels. I really like GGK's books. I think he is a superb writer. His books focus primarily on people and how the vagaries of life can lead you to places you never would have seen yourself being hours, days, weeks, months, or years earlier. His books do not tend to contain a lot of action (i.e. battle scenes, military conquests, fight scenes, etc) but he can make a court dialogue scene read like an action scene. Also, in the Sarantine Duology, the chariot racing scenes are very compelling.

Having read this many GGK books in a row, I will say there is one complaint I have with his writing. GGK has a bad habit of having women throw themselves at his main characters. Sometimes even extremely powerful, women of rank throwing themselves at essentially a commoner. It's a bit cringey at times but not enough for me to want to quit reading. It just seems a bit overwrought and unnecessary. I am not opposed to sex in books, but at least have it be believable and serve a purpose.

I will always suggest GGK to people who have never read/heard about him. Particularly those who like character-driven books, political intrigue, and exploring themes of human existence such as; loss, grief, displacement, and finding love, happiness, and joy in spite of all those things.
