I've really enjoyed this series until this book - which is just so drawn out and full of overly descriptive sections. While detail is important, it takes up too much of the book without enough forward momentum for the plot. I think I'll be stopping here even though I have enjoyed the characters and world up to this point.
Good read
Enjoyable thought but was the last book of the series but was wrong. I am looking forward to the next one.

Man, talk about an action packed Richard Phillips staple! I mean, the fight started from page 1 and didn't even end on the last page! However, I thought this was the final book in the series, so with 10 pages to go, all I could think was, I know this dude isn't about to get away, there's not enough pages left to resolve this, where's my ending?!?! So yeah....seems this adventure isn't over just yet. Already can't wait for book 5!
Expectation for this was really high - I'd waited almost 18 months and while I still had reservations about the positioning of the conclusion with the previous three installments the pace and character growth had been good for me.
Sadly, as much as I enjoyed the continued fast-paced action, I feel let down again.
What I consider the real ending of the third book is about half way through this tome, and while this doesn't end in a particularly awkward position, it makes it feel about half a book light as a result to me.
Also, we miss out on Lorness Carol's development this time - I'd really enjoyed her voyage of magical discovery in the previous volumes, for the most part now she simply just does magic on a huge scale even though we are continuing directly on from Curse of the Chosen with no break in the timeline.
There's a lot to like here, I just hope we aren't going to be kept waiting for so long again before the next installment...

Action-packed Quest
This installment of the series brings the end of a long-awaited battle and the subsequent beginning of a quest. We say goodbye to many characters and test the boundaries and fortitude of the rest. The plot is moving nicely now, with plenty of action and intrigue to keep me interested. Looking forward to the conclusion of this story and how it will play out.
