A lovely conclusion to this wonderful series. The characters, setting, and lore are as fascinating as ever even as Turner brings them to a satisfying end of her tale.
In every review after the original novel I've voiced my regret that the series didn't follow a more fantastical path - and a part of me still feels that way - but in this book Turner has managed to follow through on both the political and fantasy themes of the series in a really enjoyable way.
I won't forget these characters any time soon, and I *hope* this isn't the very end of Turner writing in this world.

This book deserves a second read-through in the not-too-distant future, simply for the amount of nuance that Megan Whalen Turner includes. It was an engaging wrap up to the series told from a unique perspective (par for the course) with interesting character development as well as considered political/military intrigue.
Second time through - I don't think Turner's writing is for everyone, but I really love her storytelling in this series.
