An excellent and fitting conclusion to the Night Angel series. The scope of the story is expanded greatly in this finale. The reader is rewarded with a sprawling tale that challenges the main characters while bringing to light the importance of the side characters in the series.

A very fitting end to this series, even if it got confusing in the middle bit.

There was a lot I really liked about this book but much more than any other Weeks book I've read, it spent way, way too much of its time musing on the breasts and bodies of its female characters. Weeks has definitely done some of this in other books and there's some level to which you can write this off as "we're seeing the world through the eyes of a young male character" or whatever, but it was just too much in this book. It dragged the book down a lot, to an extent that I almost DNF'ed.
