This season is probably the weakest one so far. There were moments when it felt like everything was dragging unnecessarily, and I never quite felt that sense of importance. Maybe it was because I watched it late at night when I was already quite tired, but even then, the series couldn't quite capture that feeling when you finish an episode and immediately want to dive into the next one to see what happens next. The highlights for me were the visit to the pirate city and the subsequent chase with Finnegrin, although even that didn't compare to the best parts of the series (or the previous season). The actual season finale, which I was hoping would leave me eagerly awaiting the continuation, was a huge letdown. The underwater battle didn't feel epic, it was more on the boring side, and at times it felt a bit cheap (those tentacles didn't help). The second storyline didn't add much either, mostly just confirming that executing traitors of states had its significance in certain situations (maybe so they couldn't plot more mischief). Even the emotional development and relationships between the characters didn't quite pull me in this time. We've known for a while that the humor in this series, largely based on childish wordplay, isn't its strongest point and can sometimes be cringe-worthy. Despite all that, it's still an above-average fantasy series that occasionally brings up interesting topics and surprises with some good ideas (like Finnegrin's ship). However, this time around, the pacing felt slow, nothing felt particularly strong, epic, or important. That's why I can't give it more than a 5.5/10.
