I've probably read this series 2-3 times by now. I won't lie. I always enjoy how Tiger and Del both grow, and while I don't always enjoy the horrible things they face, I do like how the author handles the differences in how they see things.
Tiger pointing out there's no point in living if you aren't LIVING is really a solid message. I always feel like it's a valid point and I like how he acknowledges horrible things can happen and you can have to face them and deal with them but at some point you have to start looking to something else.
I also respect what Del does to herself and for herself to accomplish her goals as a character and how driven she is. And how often she accuses Tiger of not growing when he really has been and he's trying and she sells him short. It's an interesting dynamic.
It's always nice when in a story, the characters grow and change and the author keeps that growth and change, and I know as I continue to re-read that won't go away. So I'm excited to hit the next part of the series again.

I always like this series. I always like the way that Tiger and Del play off each other and grow. I couldn't remember everything that was happening with Jamail, and Ajani, and so much of it, but I knew the basic outline of the story and I was looking forward to seeing it fall into place.
Just like I look forward to the next volume and then hopefully I'll find the last book so I can finish the series. I've never read the last one. But there's a lot of good play of what makes us who we are, what drives a person, and a lot of intense thematic information in general, and then just a good adventure story.
And I respect that the world is so much more complex than just north and south, and that there's more to explore and while I do wish for so many more things from the story because that's what happens when it's well written -Like let's learn more about the Vashni- it's not from a lack of good writing or a lack of completion so much as just "oh I know there's more to know what is it?" and so I can definitely always recommend these.

I always love how this ends.
I love the journey they both take and how they both change and shift for each other. It's a really beautiful romance story with a lot of action and adventure and good fantasy and I really do appreciate all of it.
I wish the editor had taken more care for the plot because a lot of details were wrong between books and that seems like an easy fix, to me.

I love this series. I procrastinated a bit finishing this last volume, and now I'm sad that it's over. Fantastic ending though - it leaves nothing to be desired, I've just grown attached to the characters and don't want to let them go yet.

An excellent continuation of the series. I'm really enjoying the storyline & progression of development/growth within the characters.

Quite enjoyable. Uncomplicated style, which makes for an easy read. Flawed, yet likeable characters, combined with an interesting storyline.
