King Lear divides his kingdom among the two daughters who flatter him and banishes the third one who loves him. His eldest daughters both then reject him at their homes, so Lear goes mad and wanders through a storm. His banished daughter returns with an army, but they lose the battle and Lear, all his daughters and more, die.

5 stars

This is a lovely book, although it does not deal as directly with the arcane / occult as the previous book. Also, similar to the last book, there are tidbits which are dropped earlier i.e. "fruit" which are never fulfilled in the conclusion.

For all of that, the writing is clear and the plot is refreshingly unpredictable.
