This was a pretty good conclusion to the trilogy, but I wish the trilogy overall felt more cohesive (instead of a standalone book and then a separate story split into two books).
But if nothing else, getting more worldbuilding with the Precincts made this worth it!
"Sabriel" is still the best of these so far, in my opinion.

I liked it less than the former ones, but Tim curry has outdone himself here. Amazing voice changes.

SO GOOD. Just such a satisfying ending, plus the suspense throughout was unbearable.
