New book, same plot; Mara must out maneuver and out luck another enemy with an unhealthy obsession with her.

Despite it feeling too similar I still enjoyed it, even if it's my least favorite of the trilogy.

The book like the second has some pacing issues. POVs from the enemy kill a lot of mystery in what's going on.

I still like the politics, but Mara is just too lucky, yes she suffers loss, but she manages to survive so many near death experiences it takes me out of the series

Still a good book and near great series that has some missed potential

A great final book.

Mara of the Acoma is facing her final enemies, all with diffrent reasons but a common goal.
With the help of her trusted friends and allies she manages to dispose of them one by one, taking down the last by herself in the most impressive manner.

A truly great book for a truly great Series.

What an ending to an absolutely amazing trilogy! Not enjoyed a book series this much in a very long time, and the last couple of pages made me cry, laugh and smile! Loved it.

I have been Buddy-Reading this series over the last couple of months with a ‘book-club’ friend who had not read Raymond E. Feist’s work before. As I have been a long-time fan of his work, I have compared it to The Lord of the Rings books but have actually enjoyed this series more. When I mentioned this to my friend, she immediately wanted to read the series, and convinced me to read them with her- not that it was a big ask 😊.
It is an epic fantasy saga- with wonderful world building and scene setting, and dynamic, vivid and detailed descriptions that will transport you right into the story.
Take some time to explore Mr. Feist’s work, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed- and the best part is that all the books are available now to read- no waiting for books to be released! #WINNING

Of everything he has written, I like this trilogy the best.
Original, elaborate, world building.
Complex societies.
A determined, clever protagonist.

The conclusion for the story of Mara. And while it's the third part, it is just as good as the first book in the series.
