I should have reviewed this book immediately after finishing (instead of 3 weeks later...) because I've already forgotten so much of what happened. This book artfully wraps up the stories of these three countries, their rulers, and the other characters that have come to surface throughout the series, while still introducing new adventures, characters (Pheris!), and settings.
Megan Whalen Turner does a lovely job weaving together adventure and intrigue with interpersonal growth without making things too obvious nor too obscure. Honestly, my main complaint is how little we see of the female characters and their points if view. I know I'll be rereading these books again one day.
