None of the books in this series go so far as Princep's Furyto show off the extent to which Mr. Butcher planned out his high epic. And even though, by now, most of these secrets are obvious to the attentive reader, their staging is entertaining and engrossing. Unfortunately, Princep's Fury is too much of a deviation from the central plot of the series, as if Mr. Butcher reconsidered how he wished to end his story. Shunting the conclusion off to a sixth volume, just so the reader can endure more devastation and witness more bloodshed, is a fairly pointless exercise. (2/5 Stars)
