icelore's review against another edition
4.0
Decent end to the series. I was very happy to see a conclusion that wrapped up all the stray ends to my satisfaction, which is often lacking in longer series. On the other hand, I feel that in order to wrap everything up, the conclusions for the main characters was less satisfying then it could have been. Don't get me wrong, still a very well written cap stone, but it just lacking a bit of "omph" after following such a stellar series.
Over all, this set of books is definitely worth a read if you like fantasy!

I am happy to say we got a conclusion. However, I agree that the characters we have grown to enjoy are but imitations of what they had become through the series. Alfred was fine and mostly in character and I have no complaints about Jonathan (surprisingly the most alive.) Everyone else had me reminding myself it was the last book.
As someone posted, the authors had a falling out so again, glad to have a conclusion than none at all. It is just a sadness it would have been better if real life circumstances allowed. I guess we aren't in the right possibility.
It is a good series and I am happy to have found it but I will let the books go for now. They can be enjoyed by others and if I want to see these characters again, I can get a better set. Or, perhaps, on the second round I can get to writing down the plot points to skip the dragging parts. Happy New Year to me and more books to come.
