A good and satisfactory ending to the trilogy and a good setup for Black's next series in this world that piqued interest without being too intrusive. I think I only really paid so much attention to it because I'd already known that this was the protagonist of the new series. Jude and Madoc's antagonism is (was, remains) such a fascinating father-daughter relationship. Interestingly, I found that the pacing in this book was noticeably faster than The Wicked King - not so much as to be distracting but enough to be noticeable.
