A masterful ending of a series.  The inversion of character placement in the novel through development, reflection of themes through prose choices, implementation of humor, and stakes of the journey all come to fruition so clearly here.  It is clear after reading that every single character and moment from the previous three books was essential to resolving the narrative.
