Queen of Fire by Anthony Ryan

3.0

Meh. Definitely the worst of the three books. The story was all over the place--should have been two books. New characters were indistinguishable, Lyrna devolved into a wooden caricature, and a secondary character (Weaver) is vaulted into prominence at the end and comes across as a completely different person. The great mystery of the Ally is even more muddled and confused when it is "explained" and when it was done I couldn't help but think this was an unpolished draft. Still plenty of great battle scenes and character sketches, but a rather lackluster finish to an otherwise superb trilogy.
