teirhan's review against another edition
4.0
I could not imagine a more fitting ending to this trilogy. Sometimes slow, sometimes confusing, but always thoughtful. The book engages with some weighty questions, and though not all of them are answered satisfactorily (or at all), I don't think you could expect them all to be answered.
Probably my biggest complaint is the addition of Eilona, the daughter of Muriel Wagan, as a perspective character. I understand that Ben Peek wanted a character to provide an outside perspective on the events going on in the remnants of Yeflam, but adding an additional character so late in the series means I didn't spend enough time getting to know them or their perspectives. On the other hand, the climax in her plot thread is very satisfying.
