DID NOT FINISH: 83%

Ugh- such a departure from the storyline & characters that made this series so special. I kept listening to it because I hated to give up on this ground breaking author & story but in the end, it was just a disappointing time-suck.

What a Finale!

This book was truly different than the first two (the narrator shift was very present and shifter the feel of the story in parts)The magic, other worldly and transcendent time truly engulf the reader. The heaviness of war, youth making life altering decisions and weight of loss of childhood are still ever present and truly gripping on EVERY page.

The world building, majestic descriptions and emotion evoking details are what the reader has come to expect and are consistent throughout the story and series. The antagonist is clear and the many plots tell of multiple stories and timelines that emerge into a story with many lessons that still stand present today.

This a book and series I definitely recommend.

The first book was my favorite and the last book was interesting but I would have liked a better ending as it seemed a bit all ovee over the place and did not do the four main characters justice.

With that said it is still worth finishing the trilogy.
