"So, three for four isn't bad in a tetralogy, right? The second was so disappointing, especially given how awesome the first was, but the third and fourth have more than made up for any problems I might have had with Kirra's part in the story.
I found it curious, the whole way through, that we saw everyone's point of view except Donnal's. And of the six, he's the one we know the least about. He's a shape shifter devoted to Kirra, the son of a serf and uncomfortable in the presence of lords and ladies. And that's it. I wish we'd gotten to know him better.
Anyway, this book was everything a fourth book should be. The right people won, the right people were killed. I cried a bit at certain parts, and one bit had me actually pumping a fist, so I'm glad no one was home all day to watch me read. Quite enjoyable."
"I enjoy these books, especially when I'm sick and need something entertaining without being challenging. I am starting to miss the complete absence of gay characters in Shinn's books, however. This one didn't grab me as much as the earlier ones, probably because they've presented Cammon as such a little-brother character that it was hard to picture him as a lover. But still, a fun read."
"Though this was a good ending for this segment of the series, it lacked much emotional punch. The longer it went on, the more tired I was of Cammon while there were other characters I would have greatly preferred learning more about.
By this book, I found my tolerance of the impossible magic system became too much. I don't need things to be perfect, but I need coherence!"
"One of the things I have greatly enjoyed about this series of books is that I don't need to reread the previous books when the next comes out. While it certainly helps to have read the others, each works well as a standalone. And each of the previous books is memorable enough that re-reading is not required.
The drawback is that Reader and Raelynx--nominally about Cammon, played double duty. It really held two stories: Cammon's growing love for Amalie and Senneth's final showdown with the Gisseltess's. It is both a romance and the final wrap-up of the political plot started in Mystic and Rider.
If both stories had not gripped me so, I think I would have given it three stars. However, once I got over the initial "Oh, darn it! we've switched character focus!" I was still sucked into the story and didn't skip ahead.
